BTW, I've changed dired-view-file instead of this advice.  Advices
aren't very popular with a lot of emacs devs.  Unfortunately the change
is still pending till RMS gives his ok.

That should be possible, but I'm not sure if doc-view is a good viewer
for documents you're currently editing because each time it would need
to convert the whole document again.  For small docs it might be ok,
anyway.
