Sender: address@hidden

I regenerated loaddefs.el completely and noticed that something is
incorrect with the help/fundoc mechanism.  I think this caused by the
recent change:

2003-04-12  John Paul Wallington  <address@hidden>

        * help-fns.el (help-add-fundoc-usage): Pass an empty string to
        `format' if no newlines are necessary.

For instance, C-h f batch-update-autoloads yields now the help buffer
contents

==========
batch-update-autoloads is an autoloaded Lisp function in `autoload'.
[Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]

Update loaddefs.el autoloads in batch mode.
Calls `update-directory-autoloads' on the command line arguments.
==========

while it should give the help buffer contents

==========
batch-update-autoloads is an autoloaded Lisp function in `autoload'.
(batch-update-autoloads)

Update loaddefs.el autoloads in batch mode.
Calls `update-autoloads-autoloads' on the command line arguments.
==========

I am not sure what is the desired fix:  Either undo that change for
help-add-fundoc-usage or adjust the function help-function-arglist to
that change.  (I don't volunteer for any fix.)
