In XEmacs, this shouldn't be needed because of auto-autoloads.el which
is loaded automatically at XEmacs start (providing it is in the
default load-path).

Another thing to consider...

(insert-file-contents (locate-library "gnus-load.el"))

(provide 'gnus-load)

;;; Local Variables:
;;; version-control: never
;;; no-byte-compile: t
;;; no-update-autoloads: t
;;; End:
;;; gnus-load.el ends here

It isn't going to load much. :-)  Yes, I did this intentionally.  The
best way to load Gnus in XEmacs is to have it installed in a default
package path [1], and then do nothing except start XEmacs.

        <emacs-roots>/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages

[2]  This is the default if you don't give configure any path options
     when building Gnus.
