No, I don't think AUCTeX has been implemented with processing of remote
tex files in mind.  Maybe that's not a good idea anyway, because AUCTeX
finds and parses used latex style files etc, and that might be slow over
networks.  On the other hand, if we can make C-c C-c work with TRAMP,
that wouldn't be bad.

One problem is that AUCTeX is supposed to work with XEmacs 21.4, and
that doesn't have a `start-file-process' function.  But of course we can
add a `TeX-start-file-process' compatibility function and use that.

Sorry, the patch is garbled/wrapped.  Could you please send it again?
