Enlighten me: what would be the danger of using something like

(defvar TeX-lisp-directory (expand-file-name 
			    "auctex" 
	                    (file-name-directory (locate-library
						  "tex-site")))
   "*The directory where most of the AUCTeX lisp files are located.
   tex-site.el (wherein this variable is defined) resides in its
   parent directory. For the location of lisp files associated with
   styles, see the variables TeX-style-* (hand-generated lisp) and
   TeX-auto-* (automatically generated lisp).")

We want as much automated things inside the lisp code as possible,
anyway.
