Added the autoload cookie, and deal with major mode changes correctly.

;;; Commentary:

;; Some text editors save text files with long lines, and they
;; automatically break these lines at whitespace, without actually
;; inserting any newline characters. When doing `M-q' in Emacs, you
;; are inserting newline characters. This file provides a file format
;; which wraps the long lines when reading a file and unwraps the
;; lines when saving the file. It can also wrap and unwrap
;; automatically as editing takes place.

;;; Installation:

;; Save longlines.el in a convenient directory, preferably in
;; your `load-path'. Add the following to your `user-init-file':
;;
;;   (autoload 'longlines-mode
;;     "longlines.el"
;;     "Minor mode for automatically wrapping long lines." t)

;;; Todo:

;; Investigate ^M characters showing up in relation to auto-save-file,
;; at least for NTEmacs.

;;; Code:

(require 'easy-mmode)
(when (not (fboundp 'overlays-in)) (require 'overlay)) ; for XEmacs
