bug#11915: libraries that don't provide a feature or the wrong one

Should be fixed now.

>> For map-ynp.el, I think it's normal because that file is preloaded.

Should be fixed now.

Done.

It's already been moved to obsolete in trunk a while ago.

Oh, I see, you're looking at the 24.1 code, but in the trunk these files
have been moved to "etc/forms" so they should not be a problem any more.

>>> * in the elpa branch:
>>> markchars.el does not provide a feature.
>> That's an oversight, yes, thank you,

Should be fixed now.
