I don't know enough about Windows to know if AUCTeX has a reason to do
what it does.  If you want to follow this up, you could ask about it
on the AUCTeX mailing list.

Yes, in the follow-up mail I sent to you, I realized that Mik-TeX does
not pay attention to the TEXINPUT environment variable, so
preview-TeX-style-dir will not work for Mik-tex users at all.

Ah, I didn't know that.  In that case, you are right that Easymacs
should not interfere.  I'll make the change you suggested.  

Thanks for the feedback.
