In addition 'cdlatex.el' is a realy nice add-on too! It has
autocompletion, is easy to use, great for math functions and
has, or uses reftex (I don't know), searching for references
and 'cites' as well. An other great feature is the
navigation using 'TAB'. You are to jump out of brackets and
environments pretty easyly!
