What does this mean? In XEmacs, we put an "autoload cookie" on some
code, eg
;;;###autoload
(defun foo () "Demonstrate autoloads." nil)
and it automatically gets picked up by the build process, whether in
core or in a packaged library. Is that what you mean?
Not everyone uses "packaged libraries". For example, I have a
`site-lisp' directory full of goodies. I would like to be able to
create an "autoloads" file from all their autoload cookies. I'm sure
it's possible, but I never got it to work after trying what seemed
logical, so I gave up.
Perhaps genauto makes the process easier or more obvious?
