I once started working on a standalone.el.  One issue is there are
standalone.sty and standalone.cls: Since AUCTeX doesn't make a
difference here, we have to put all the code inside a single
standalone.el and add some conditionals there to find out what is
loaded.  And this was another issue inside latex.el which we have
address first and I didn't want to do before our last release.  Maybe
it's time pick this up again.  Are you willing to test the package if I
manage to code it?  The bare skeleton is attached.

Best, Arash
