I was interested in them because the gentoo packaging support for emacs
includes the ability to automatically create autoloads from these
comments for installed add-on packages that then get loaded system-wide
when emacs is started.  

I've my own ebuild using this functionality right now that is just
slightly different from the one that was posted here a little while ago.
I've been meaning to merge my version with that one but haven't gotten
to it yet.
