Yes, but at least the manual should now be catered for. We probably
still have configure.ac, preview/configure.ac, RELEASE, auctex.spec,
tex-ref.tex, preview-latex.texi (though this will be gone when we pass
the recent AUCTeX manual changes to preview-latex).
I did not want to convert the preview-latx manual before getting at
least some feedback about the recent changes in the AUCTeX manual.
RELEASE needs to be rewritten manually each release: I don't see much
of a point just to change the version number in there automatically.
I can probably mess around with tex-ref.tex so that it gets its
version number from version.texi, but it is probably a bad idea not to
leave the file stand-alone in case people want to print it outside of
AUCTeX. We could possibly do this via RCS version strings.
I don't see that we can easily put the version number into auctex.spec
automatically, and again, the file should remain standalone and not
include other stuff.
configure.ac and preview/configure.ac can probably be made to pick up
the version from somewhere, but it sounds like work and maybe a
hen/egg problem. If RCS strings are to be used there, they need to
get manipulated exclusively by m4 as far as I can see: at the time
this is relevant, the shell is not yet being run.

Ok.
