The autoloads are apparently automatically extracted from the other
files, and put into eieio.el. This seems unnecessary, since Emacs itself
will extract the autoloads.

Example:

;;;### (autoloads (eieio-help-mode-augmentation-maybee eieio-describe-generic
;;;;;;  eieio-describe-constructor eieio-describe-class eieio-browse)
;;;;;;  "eieio-opt" "eieio-opt.el" "1bed0a56310f402683419139ebc18d7f")
;;; Generated autoloads from eieio-opt.el

(autoload 'eieio-browse "eieio-opt" "\
Create an object browser window to show all objects.
If optional ROOT-CLASS, then start with that, otherwise start with
variable `eieio-default-superclass'.

\(fn &optional ROOT-CLASS)" t nil)
