This 

;;set xetex mode in tex/latex
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda()
(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("XeLaTeX" "%`xelatex%(mode)%' %t" TeX-run-TeX nil t))
(setq TeX-command-default "XeLaTeX")
(setq TeX-save-query nil)
(setq TeX-show-compilation t)
))

comes, if I remember correctly, from the page

http://hephaistos-text.org/open-source-classics/82-emacs-auctex-and-xelatex.html

which is no longer available.
