Subject: Autoload and relative file names
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 17:02:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48DE4AF3.9060307@gmail.com> (raw)

The function that generates autoload, autoload-generate-file-autoloads,
enters just the file name without extension in the generated autoloads.

This means that the file with the autoloaded functions must be in
load-path. This is not always what is desired.

The function `load' (that I assume does the loading later) can use file
names that are relative to any entry in `load-path'. I think it would be
quite useful to be able to generate the autoload section such that it
uses a file name relative to load-path. This could be done by adding a
new parameter, the directory to make the relative file name against.
