It can be argued that emacs-auctex should not pull in texlive. Most users installing emacs-auctex will already have some flavor of tex in place, and not necessarily the cygwin one (like the OP, or perhaps a MikTex user). Plus, the error message is pretty intuitive and the solution very simple, if latex is not there: "latex: no such command" ==> "maybe I should install latex." Therefore, the expected aggregate
frustration of users who installed auctex without latex available would likely be far lower than the aggregate frustration of users wanting to install auctex and getting saddled with an unwanted redundant texlive distribution (for which there is no easy solution).
