I don't know, I admit I'm very confused by the autoload logic, so you
lost me at preloaded.  Also have been away from Elisp for almost a year.

If I remove the autoload I get compilation errors in electric.elc or
align.elc (from make bootstrap). I might be doing something wrong. How
can I test the autoload dependecies without a full make bootstrap?

And then there's the problem Noam mentioned in elisp-mode.el.

But Noam's patch apparently fixes that, so here's his patch and mine for
a quick review from either of you if you don't mind. Tested with 'make
bootstrap'.

Thanks,
João
