[patch] Very minor issue with CUA mode

[Daniel Brockman]

Download cua.el from cua.dk and put it in ~/cua.el.
Then do emacs -q RET M-x load-file RET ~/cua.el RET.  BANG.

Ideally, the error shouldn't even mention the init file unless it
actually knows that the library was loaded from there.  I don't know,
is there something like `loading-init-file-p'?

I should say that I didn't test the above patch, and to be honest, I
couldn't figure out how to do it!  It seems that the autoload code is
somehow cached so that changing it in the Lisp file doesn't work.

You need to make bootstrap to test it.

I installed the patch, thanks.
