I don't know which solution is preferable:

(1) Your suggestion:

    (eval-when-compile
      (autoload 'message-y-or-n-p "message" nil 'macro))

(2) Adding `message-y-or-n-p' to the existing `eval-and-compile' form:

|   ;; This little mapcar goes through the list below and marks the
|   ;; symbols in question as autoloaded functions.
