I think this is an excellent idea, I hate it to have dozens of #loaddefs.el.xxx files in my lisp folder resulting from conflicts when merging. Just one question: Will a simple "make" be enough to ensure that new autoloads are recognized when building? -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
