a problem in the building of the Gnus CVS under XEmacs

Hi, I found a terrible problem in the building of the Gnus CVS under XEmacs. There is a long line for the function `message-mode' in the file gnus-load.el which is the same form with message.el as follows: (define-derived-mode message-mode text-mode "Message" "Major mode for... ... ...(set (make-local-variable 'indent-tabs-mode) nil) (mml-mode)) If this file is loaded before message.elc, `message-mode-map' will be pre-defined. So the keys `C-c C-c', etc. won't be defined even if message.elc is loaded. Otherwise, if the form uses a macro, it won't be expanded in gnus-load.elc. It should be an `autoload' form, however, XEmacs' autoload does not handle `define-derived-mode'. Here is a patch for the problem. But it is no more than an ad- hoc solution, it should be fixed in XEmacs, I think. 2001-07-17 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka(a)jpl.org&gt; * dgnushack.el (dgnushack-make-auto-load): Advise `make-autoload' to handle `define-derived-mode'.
