The official way to avoid byte compilation is with no-byte-compile[1]. 
preview-latex.el and tex-site.el are so marked, so they won't be 
compiled anyway.  auctex.el is not so marked, so either there is no 
reason to not compile it, or else it should also be marked; either way, 
this should be fixed upstream.

Then we should figure out how to fine-tune __prep_texlive().  The first 
mktexlsr is always needed, and the updmap-sys will be limited to 
packages including Add*Map command(s) per our other thread.  Should we 
limit the fmtutil-sys call to packages including addFormat command(s)? 
Do any non-texlive packages add anything which would necessitate a call 
to updmap-sys and/or fmtutil-sys?

(BTW: cygport discussion is on-topic in cygwin-apps; it would be easier 
for me to have these discussions there.)
