Okay, I got rid of the minor modes for XeTeX and Omega. (To be precise, the one for Omega is being kept for compatibility reasons for the time being.) Instead, there is a variable called `TeX-engine' which can be used to select the engine. Since we don't have a way to set stuff for a document, it is global at the moment but can obviously also be set file-locally. The three engine options are currently `default', `xetex' and `omega'. One could probably add PDFTeX as well but I didn't see a need for that because it is already handled by `TeX-DVI-via-PDFTeX'. The engine can be set through the TeXing options menu or with `M-x TeX-engine-set <RET>'. Lemme know what you think. -- -- Ralf
