Isn't that why the "Modified buffers exist" question is yes/no rather than y/n?

I do, and have so far implemented the functionality as (not with an option, I don't know how):

(add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary)

(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary)

If I figure out how to have this controlled by an option, where (and how) would I send a patch request?

BTW, is my mailing list etiquette (formatting of replies etc.) acceptable? This is my first bug report to a free software project.
