BTW: Did you check how the compiled Emacs handles site-lisp?  Are any
site-lisp directories present in `load-path' when using emacs -Q?
Does AUCTeX's configure handle it correctly?
(cf. <news:address@hidden> and
<news:address@hidden>)

If your target are users who want Emacs as an editor for *TeX, I'd
suggest to offer Emacs 22 (either the releases 22.1, 22.2, ... or
selected/occasional version from the EMACS_22_BASE branch) plus the
current AUCTeX release.  I expect that the Emacs will become less
stable than in the past and thus not very suitable for these users,
IMHO.

Bye, Reiner.
