For anyone who uses the XEmacs Gnus package, or anyone like me who
rolls their own auto-autoloads.el, they will see an "Already loaded"
error because of:
        
     `(if (featurep 'gnus-autoloads) (error "Already loaded"))'

XEmacs puts this exact form in 'auto-autoloads.el'.  This file is,
surprise surprise, automatically loaded when XEmacs starts.  Surely
GNU/Emacs has a similar mechanism to handle autoloads.  Or are
'autoloads' in GNU/Emacs really 'manual-loads'?
