I'd especially like Hrvoje to comment on this... After removing the fsf-compat package from my system this is the first thing that gave me problems (because I have reftex stuff in my init files). Anyway, I think the following patch fixes reftex properly so it doesn't need fsf-compat. I'm posting it here for discussion before I submit it to -patches and to Carsten. cvs server: Diffing .
