   Your patch looks like a good idea to me.

Seems ok to me.

   excellent, when I tried to find it, I had to assemble it from bits found
   on various ftp servers.

Except that here, it just fails when trying to make it:

[zedek@totoz-linux 22:37:02 rmail-mime]$ make
echo '
      ' > lisp/autodefs.el
emacs-snapshot -q --no-site-file -batch -l autoload --eval \
                '(setq source-directory (expand-file-name ".") \
                       generated-autoload-file "autodefs.el")' \
                -f batch-update-autoloads `find lisp -type d -print`
Wrong type argument: symbolp, "autodefs.el"
make: *** [autodefs.el] Error 255
