Re: TeX-master and TeX-output-master

[Al Haji-Ali]

Hello,

Attached is a patch to AUCTeX that implements the output-directory option 
`TeX-output-dir` (defaults to nil) based on the discussion in this thread.

Setting it using something like `(setq TeX-output-dir "auto/build")` should 
output all temporary and output files to a sub-directory `auto/build` next to 
the master file.

I implemented this using a new expansion string `%(output-dir)`, which means 
that any user-defined
commands must explicitly pass this option in the compilation command for this 
functionality to work.

Any comments or feedback is most welcome.

Best regards,
