I'm not elisp expert, but I think that if you integrate the code with
tex.el, it is already loaded, but the auctex-dnd mode is not enabled.
You can probably use something like

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'auctex-dnd-mode)

in your .emacs to enable it automatically with auctex.

Yes, it seems I used nonexistent group in the custom variables
definition. You probably need to add

(defgroup auctex-dnd nil
  "A (La)TeX drag-and-drop mode."
  :tag "AUCTeX"
  :group 'AUCTeX)

and change all :group tags to be followed by 'auctex-dnd.

As I wrote earlier, this was only a quick hack so I didn't polish the
code. In any way, I'm glad that you like it.

Cheers,
