I think other parts of AUCTeX rely on multiprompt, and there might be
some third-party packages as well.

I'd prefer to keep multiprompt in the distribution, I think, though we
might add a warning that it might be removed at a later point of time.

Is the crm functionally a superset of multiprompt?  If it is, we could
try to make wrapper functions that map to crm when available, and use
multiprompt if not.

It would seem to make sense to use either multiprompt or crm
consistently, the way it sounds, but I think it is ok to make the
decision at load time.
