If it's done well, we could install it in the trunk (you'd probably
have to sign copyright paperwork for that, of course).

In any case, grep for `do_autoload' in the src/*.c files to see where
the autoloading is done.  That's probably the main part of the code
you'll need to change.  But change should be fairly small.
