Yes. It states this incorrect opinion:

           For PDF output, forward search is availabe when using the pdfsync
        LaTeX package and xpdf as PDF viewer.  With the pdfsync package forward
        search does not rely on source specials.  Therefore you don't have to
        bother about the provisions for source specials explained above.  If
        document parsing is enabled, the functionality is usable immediately,
        e.g. by typing `C-c C-v' (`TeX-view') which will open the viewer or
        bring it to front if it is already opened and display the output page
        corresponding to the position of point in the source file.

Pdfsync works with TeXShop, TeXniscope, and iTeXMac. I never heard of  
anything else ...


So, in the end the bug I reported continues to exist: there is now  
way to customise the external viewer application for TeX output  
files. Is this so hard to admit?
