Done.  I could build (SUSE 9.2) and install (SUSE 9.2, 10.0) the RPM
successfully.  AUCTeX (incl. preview-latex) are correctly activated.
I didn't do much testing.  Maybe tomorrow^Wlater today.

The xemacs-package also builds successfully.  I didn't try to install
it.  XEmacs users might want to test the package from my snapshot
directory:
