[AUCTeX] Installation of CTAN AUCTeX into emacs

[Haines Brown]

David,

I downloaded an AUCTeX tarball in order to run it under emacs using 
TL2011, also from CTAN.

The installation instructions loose me. When I unpacked the tarball, I 
get a set of directories. Which is the "source directory"? None seem 
appropriate to running a ./configure command, such as one would do to 
create a C binary.

In the lisp/auctex/ directory are .el files. Usually when I install
an emacs application I simply put the .el files into emacs environment
and call them from emacs init; no compilation necessary.
