It would need to write a new sentinel for latexmk if we are going to
provide the most suitable candidate in all cases.

AUCTeX users can deginate latex binary file names through
`TeX-engine-alist' and `LaTeX-command', which can be different from
standard "latex", "xelatex" and "lualatex".  If we are to support such
non-standard binary names, we need %l.  (However, maybe this isn't much
meaningful because fixed binary names of "latexmk" and "dvipdfmx" after
all in my patch. :-))
