Sounds like a good idea.

I've attached the latest one.  The differences are most likely minor,
if any.

That wouldn't be a problem, of course.

One point of note: install.el is meant to be included in Emacs to help
install external packages (it would then be supplemented with a package
manager that could list the installed packages, select which ones to
(de)activate, deinstall, etc..).  I.e. it's not meant to be specific to any
particular package.  Which of course doesn't mean that one can't distribute
a version of it along with RefTex.  Also the current install.el is just
a very rough first step, more meant as a proof of concept.

I guess you knew that, but just wanted to make it clear, so people don't get
disappointed ;-)
