Thanks.

Right it is from 2003

Well a lot of fun if it works, frustrating if it doesn't ;-)

Talking about the «future» of auctex, there is this very interesting
patch written by Al Haji-Ali, that allow to have the «compiled stuff» in
a different directory of your choice and so keeps your main directory
tidy and clutterfree. 

Al's patch hasn't been included so far, and works for me fine, if I
patch it against commit 3fa1baadab

But not against commit a92fe0bf

Because the compilation buffer does not shows up for me. 

Sort of frustrating since I love that patch

Anyhow a different topic.
