Good points.  I think it might make sense to keep the Emacs CVS history.

I have always had the main version at my own site, and then updated 
Emacs
and XEmacs from there.  HOWEVER, RECENTLY THIS WAS NO LONGER TRUE.  
There have
been a few small changes in Emacs CVS that I have not yet put back into 
my
own version.

Therefore, the latest version is the one currently in Emacs CVS, and we
should start from this, not from the alpha version from my homepage.  
The changes
are few, but the Emacs side has in each case the latest, I just checked 
this again.
This also means that we do not have to merge any changes with the Emacs 
CVS version.

The other files I have been talking about can be taken from the alpha 
distribution
from my website, which is the same as reftex.tar.gz on that site.

To summarize:

From Emacs CVS:

lisp/textmodes/reftex*el
man/reftex.texi

from http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/reftex/reftex.tar.gz

CHANGES
Makefile (probably will have to be changed for the distribution with 
AUCTeX)
README
INSTALL
COPYING
