The way this looks, stuff gets called with (eval-after-load 'tex ...)
while it should be with (eval-after-load 'latex ...) in order to have
the right map defined.

I have not heard anything at all from the copyright clerk regarding the
assignment of Jean-Philippe, the original author.  However,
double-checking the copyright assignment file on the GNU organisation
server, I found both entries:

AUCTEX  Holger Sparr    Germany, 1973   2007-07-04
Assigns Past and Future Changes

AUCTex  Jean-Philippe Georget   France, 1968    2007-07-19
Assigns Past and Future Changes

It _is_ rather embarrassing that this code has not made it in in almost
2 years of time due to this oversight.

I am afraid that I have not been able to regularly follow traffic on the
AUCTeX lists in the last months, and this mail has been brought
specifically to my attention via private mail.  Thanks for that.

How shall we proceed with regard to putting pstricks.el in?  Holger, do
you want to have CVS write access, or would you prefer it if somebody
else placed the code into the repository?  If there are frequent changes
and/or bug fixes, it makes most sense if the person doing the work is
also the one checking it in.
