	update-directory-autoloads now adds path element to filename in
	autoload definition
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:37:13 +0100

This might not be a bug, but I couldn't find anything in NEWS regarding
this issue, and it breaks my personal autoload setup.

Recipe:

* mkdir -p ~/foo/bar

* Create a file 'test.el' in foo/bar, containing

  ;;;###autoload
  (defun testthis ()
  )

* cd ~/foo and call

  emacs --batch --eval '(let ((generated-autoload-file "~/foo/loaddefs.el")) (update-directory-autoloads "~/foo/bar")))'

* The file ~/foo/loaddefs.el will have this autoload definition:

  (autoload 'testthis "bar/test" "\

  Using emacs v23.3, I only get

  (autoload 'testthis "test" "\
