Emacs dired mode will flag all "junk" files for deletion by pressing &, and
I think "junk" includes all TeX output files by default.  So, whilst it does
not suppress them (which I think would be a very bad idea if not impossible
anyway), it does make it very easy to tidy up.

Emacs tex mode interprets " correctly, as either `` or '' as appropriate.
(AUCTeX is not necessary for this; the standard tex mode does it.)
