[Bug-AUCTeX] missing (require 'cl) ?

[jfbu]

Hi,

isn't the latest auctex release missing somewhere a (require 'cl)?

I have installed auctex-20120917-a (downloaded from 
<http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/auctex/snapshots/ftp/auctex-current.tar.gz>)
 this seems to be the latest version of the package.

At some point (I am in the mix of moving to a new laptop and system) nothing 
worked anymore: I got error messages Symbol's function definition is void: 
mapcar*, 

The problem seems to have been mentioned already in another mailing list 
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2011-12/msg00107.html>

and indeed (require 'cl) in my .emacs solves the problem

I realized later that in my .emacs I had moved at some point (require 
'mic-paren) (which as far as I understand does load the cl library) from a 
position before to one after the loading of auctex, 


Sincerely,
JF B.
