Re: Package Smoketest and the building of mew-ja.info

Mats> "Symbol's function definition is void: regexp-opt". This probably is due to some rearranging that Ben did; something is weird with autoloads in regexp-opt. Ben, what's going on here?

Mats> I can't figure out from the documentation for Mats> eval-when-compile how it is supposed to work, will Mats> regexp-opt be loaded when a non compiled texinfo.el is Mats> loaded or not? No, it will not. The reason for the eval-when-compile is that if you compile without loading regexp-opt first, there will be unexpanded macro calls in the byte code, which will fail (macros are supposed to be expanded before compiling). However, you don't want to load unneeded cruft, so when calling functions OR macros from texinfo uncompiled we depend on autoload to make sure the library is loaded when needed.
