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.
