This is a bootstrap problem that should go away once everyone has an
lisp/prim/auto-autoloads.el 

You `almost' need a working xemacs to build auto-autoloads.el via
`make autoloads' and you `almost' need an auto-autoloads.el to build a
fully functional xemacs.  I'm working on resolving some of these
bootstrap problems.  Only I and Steven should ever confront them, once
everyone has an XEmacs distribution with auto-autoloads.el included.

Ideally, only auto-autoloads.elc, not auto-autoloads.el should be part
of an official XEmacs distribution, to save space.  And
auto-autoloads.elc should be buildable from a naked temacs.  We're not
quite there yet, but it's not critical to fix this for the next Net
release.
