Please find attached a patch. Actually, my idea would be to do
something like what we do with viewer binaries, ie add an optional
entry to `TeX-command-list' elements with the name of the binary to be
checked. And maybe define also a `TeX-command-list-builtin' to avoid
problems. But I think to implement these ideas after rolling the new
release.
Bye,
