Thanks for implementing this.  I tried it on a Win box with Emacs 25
pretest and it doesn't work correctly when invoked with prefix.  I think
the issue with the regexp in line 6128:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ;; XXX: XEmacs doesn't support character classes in
  ;; regexps, like "[:alnum:]".
  "^ *\\([0-9]+\\) +\\([-~/a-zA-Z0-9_.${}#%,:]+\\)" nil t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

On Win, texdoc -l returns the paths with `\' as separators.  I could fix
it with adding `\\' to the regexp:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  "^ *\\([0-9]+\\) +\\([-~/a-zA-Z0-9_.${}#%,:\\]+\\)" nil t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I wonder how it works for people with a space in their path to TeXLive.

Best, Arash
