From emacs-21.3/lisp/autoinsert.el:

;;  To use:
;;     (add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'auto-insert)
;;     setq auto-insert-directory to an appropriate slash-terminated value
;;
;;  You can also customize the variable `auto-insert-mode' to load the
;;  package.  Alternatively, add the following to your .emacs file:
;;  (auto-insert-mode 1)
