Re: [AUCTeX] First try at the Biber support merge

[Philip Kime]

Many thanks for looking at this. It's hard to tell from the patches if they are 
right - some people will have to install and test it. Can I just pull this from 
the CVS head? One thing to note is that many users of biblatex 2.0 will want to 
set:

(setq LaTeX-always-use-Biber t)

Since biber is the default backend as of version 2.0 of biblatex and most of 
the really important features are biber only in 2.0.
