[AUCTeX] setting PDFLaTeX-mode on a per-file basis?

[Joost Kremers]

hi list,

is it possible to activate/deactive PDFLaTeX mode based on a file's local
variables? in some of my latex files i use pstricks, so that i need to go
latex-->dvips-->ps2pdf, on other files i prefer to use pdflatex. i'd be
nice not to have to type C-c C-t C-p each time when i load a file that uses
pdflatex.

i tried setting the mode variable to pdflatex, but apparently that's not
the way...

TIA

joost
