That's a good point.  Here is a new version that should be more
general.

I split the function `cedet-hack-autoloads' into two new functions:

- `cedet-update-autoloads', a command:

  "(cedet-update-autoloads LOADDEFS &optional DIRECTORY)

   Update autoloads in file LOADDEFS from sources.
   Optional argument DIRECTORY, specifies the directory to scan for
   autoloads.  It defaults to the current directory.
   Also scan sub directories of DIRECTORY where exists a
   `cedet-autogen-tagfile' file."

- `cedet-batch-update-autoloads', a batch function:

  "(cedet-batch-update-autoloads)

  Update autoloads in batch mode.
  Usage: emacs -batch -f cedet-batch-update-autoloads LOADDEFS [DIRECTORY]
  See the command `cedet-update-autoloads' for the meaning of the
  LOADDEFS and DIRECTORY arguments."

Thus, it is now possible to update any autoloads file from any
directory.

For example, to update all CEDET's autoloads, one can use:

emacs -batch -f cedet-batch-update-autoloads \
  <cedet-install-dir>/common/cedet-al.el \
  <cedet-install-dir>

And to update only semantic autoloads, one can use:

emacs -batch -f cedet-batch-update-autoloads \
  <cedet-install-dir>/semantic/semantic-al.el \
  <cedet-install-dir>/semantic

What do you think?
