It is still like the last time we discussed this.  You just write
(defconst AUCTeX-version "11.54")
(defconst AUCTeX-date ...

instead of the respective lines in tex.el.  You have to take the
version numbers out of the control of CVS strings like $Release: $ if
you are going to use CVS and/or RCS on the file.

Alternatively, you have to tell your CVS system that tex.el is to be
considered a binary file, and so no keyword replacements are to be
done at all.

You can do that with cvs.
