...at least, it does when trying to parse through it with XEmacs.
This means that I can't run an auto-autoloads generator over it
trivially.
They problem is in the definition of the iso-8859-6 codes; the left side
of the alist contains a '(' character that is treated as an opening
bracket by XEmacs.

I think ucs-tables.el doesn't work for XEmacs anyway. For XEmacs,
there is a package Latin-Unity or similar.
Do you still need autoloads even though the package doesn't work?

Nope. If the file is present, though, my current system will attempt to
build auto-loads for all the files in the directory unconditionally.
The idea of having a file which would contain invalid Lisp, regardless
of it's value, in one of the two branches seems ... odd.
Anyway, I can work around the problem without too much hassle -- it's
not like I can't live without building autoloads there when things
update.

Hm. Maybe the stuff in contrib shouldn't be used unconditionally.
It should only be used when really needed. At least I gather that's
the idea of the contrib directory.

Yup. My plan for working around the problem is to symlink all the stuff
I actually use from contrib out into a different directory. To date,
though, I had used most of it. ;)
