At last I managed to try your updated patch. It works with preview-latex
for plain cases, but still doesn't work for file name with space, e.g.
"abc def.tex", unfortunately.

Also, I wonder whether it can be simplified or not. Is it really
necessary to introduce a new variable TeX-command-file-function and
tweak the argument of TeX-save-document? It seems that Mosè's approach
doesn't need such complexity. Are TeX-active-master function and
TeX-current-process-region-p variable deficient for those purposes?
