which causes things like M-x apropos gnus.*mime to fail, etc.

Uhm.  Surely this is a bug?

Ah, I see -- gnus.el autoloads the function, but it's never defined.
Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.7.

I saw that.  Could you please put real autoload cookies back in and
bypass doing manual autoloads for XEmacs?  Magic autoload cookies work 
correctly in XEmacs regardless of whether the package was installed
before the binary was dumped or not and both XEmacs 20.3 and XEmacs 
20.4 can handle finding new autoloads files in locally installed
packages.

I can send you a patch if you wish.

The main reason I've put that giganting autoload thingie in gnus.el is 
that it makes things easy when dealing with non-included Gnus
version.  The other reason is that there's so darn many of them that
it almost feels indecent to have that many Gnus symbols defined for
the people who have no intention of using Gnus.

If you think it's a good idea -- please do.

In XEmacs 21 those non-persons can simply eliminate (or never load)
Gnus and the autoloads vanish.

It's a good idea -- it won't effect FSF Emacs users at all and it will 
work for both XEmacs 20.[34] and XEmacs 21 users and be more efficient 
to boot.  I'll send you a patch.

The XEmacs 21 emacs lisp packaging code has been carefully FSF
copyright assigned so that Richard can use the code if he so wishes.
