Well, this is what Emacs does actually: try with git, if it fails does
something else.  And I applied the same logic to AUCTeX: if git is
available use it to determine the appropriate variables, otherwise
fallback onto the possibly outdated ChangeLog.1.  The outdated
ChangeLog.1 is a "problem" only for snapshots, but I don't know how
many people actually compiles AUCTeX from snapshots.

Tassilo, probably before releasing new GNU ELPA packages it's a good
idea to update the ChangeLog.1.
