OK, thanks.  I'll install that part.

The main problem for me with this is that it was difficult to figure out why
~ didn't work the way I expected it (it didn't occur to me at first that it
was linked to the input method).  E.g. C-h k ~ told me something like:

    =A0 (translated from ~ =A0) is bound to self-insert-command

    ...

then I looked for some weird key-mapping in key-translation-map and
function-key-map.  I know it wasn't my brightest moment, but still: this is
the only part of the TeX input method which remaps a single key rather than
a key-sequence.
