Yep.
I don't know how this works, exactly, but what you want to do is fix
the autoload support code (not the derived mode support) to extract
that define-derived-mode sexp and do it exactly as you did by hand.
Look for comments/patches by Didier Verna, perhaps, give him a buzz
(didier.verna(a)xemacs.org).
There's a patch at [1] that seems to be the fix for this. It's already
applied to 21.5, but I think it would be good to get this stuff working
on 21.4 too. A downloadable version that applies cleanly to
release-21-4 is at [2]. What do you think, Stephen?
