When I try to 'make autoloads' in the latest auctex in my non-mule XEmacs, I get the following error: xemacs -vanilla -batch \ -eval "(setq autoload-package-name \"auctex\")" \ -l autoload -f batch-update-directory . Updating autoloads in directory /opt/build/xemacs-packages-2001-12-09/xemacs-packages/auctex... Generating autoloads for auctex/_pkg.el...

OK, I just built a mule XEmacs, and with that I could successfully complete 'make autoloads' in auctex. So auctex now has a dependency on a mule XEmacs, and for a non-mule package, that's a no-no. - vin
