[AUCTeX] Customising in a low maintenance way

[Nick Urbanik]

Dear Folks,

I want to customise auctex so that my customisations are kept separate
from the installed auctex files.    In the past, I edited latex.el and
font-latex.el and had problems when updating auctex.

Where should I put modifications to font commands instead of editing
easy-menu-define LaTeX-mode-menu in latex.el?  Or adding more verbatim
type environment commands, such as alltt and semiverbatim (from
latex-beamer)?  Or adding more environments, such as the frame
environment from latex-beamer, with the \frametitle{} command and
itemize environment already nested inside?  Should I define these in
tex-site.el?  And if so, should I copy the old definitions there and
then modify them?

Current auctex version: 11.55
OS: FC4.
