| when launching octave.  This makes little sense to me.  Is autoload 
attempting to replace a file with a file of a different name?

It means you have multiple autoloads for the same function name,
probably in separate PKG_ADD files.  Maybe it should say "ignoring
duplicate" instead of "not replacing existing".  Can you suggest a
better message?
