Oh, cool.  I did not expect this from being picked up right away. (c:

Oops, forget the second mandatory argument of `update-autoload-files'.

I looked at the doc string of this function and related functions and
variables but cannot really make heads or tails of it.  What is meant
by "feature" in this context?

Anyway, if I had to _guess_ what to supply as second argument, I'd
choose "auto".  This will hopefully generate an auto-autoloads.el
file.  So the patch would look like this:

--- prv-install.el      03 May 2005 14:40:13 +0200      1.10
+++ prv-install.el      20 May 2005 15:33:45 +0200

+             (t (error "Failed to generate autoloads.")))
       (fset 'message si:message))
     (when (file-exists-p generated-autoload-file)
       (with-temp-buffer (insert-file append-file)

But I'd very much appreciate it if anybody with more knowledge about
the autoloads facilities in XEmacs 21.5 could shed some light on this.
