Yes sir that is correct at this point. Word is that eventually XEmacs
will unbundle a lot of the lisp packages it comes with but for now that
is the case. With xemacs19-19.16-1 I have AucTeX v 9.7l.

I'd leave it where it is. Or else put it in share and symlink from /usr/
lib/emacs/common. We'll embrace FHS in 2.1 or so; right now it's FSSTD
which is stipulated by policy.

Yes, /var/lib/emacs/auctex perhaps?

Yes, I think so, although Robert Browning was doing some Emacs 20 (?)
work which would imping upon all this and the byte-compilation issues.
