Patch applied, thanks!

Rasmus, regarding the problem with PATH, what prevents you from adding
the path of Sumatra to your PATH environment variable?  I don't see
how hard-coding a path in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' would be a
better solution.

Speaking for myself, I don't, but there are journals requiring the
papers to be compiled with "latex" and anyway I don't think we should
implicitly drop support for it.

If you can do it, please go ahead, just don't feel compelled ;-)
