Good to know it hasn't been my fault. :-)

There is no preview subdirectory anymore.  It's now top-level mixed with
the "normal" AUCTeX files.

Hm, I think this will result in `TeX-lisp-directory' being
"~/.emacs.d/auctex.git/auctex/" which is wrong but maybe doesn't matter
as you put auctex on the `load-path' yourself.  I'm using this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq TeX-data-directory "~/Repos/el/auctex"
      TeX-lisp-directory TeX-data-directory)

(load "~/Repos/el/auctex/auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "~/Repos/el/auctex/preview-latex.el" nil t t)

(add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list "~/Repos/el/auctex/doc")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That that way, `TeX-lisp-directory' is put onto `load-path' when loading
auctex.
