Could you please be more specific? Do you mean to create a new module
at the same level as the `auctex' module or do you meant to put RefTeX
into its own folder below `auctex'?

Assuming we give RefTeX its own module in CVS I don't see much of a
difference between that and giving RefTeX its own Arch repository.
With the CVS approach you'll need a separate check-out as well. It's
not like a `cvs up' in the `auctex' folder will spew out RefTeX.

It's a one-time effort which could spare you a lot of work in the long
run. But I'm repeating myself.

No, I'm not! I think I made it clear that I first want to look more
closely at Arch in order to make an informed decision. I just want to
prevent a premature decision towards CVS. The stuff I've already
learned about Arch just gave me a bit of cannon fodder I could use in
the discussion. That's all.

Right. I'm glad you articulated this because I've come to the same
conclusion.
