No, you would have to load ebib via `require' or `load' instead of
`autoload' if you wanted to define your own key bindings.  Otherwise
the keymaps wouldn't be defined and you'd get a void variable error.

Yeah, that negates any benefit of loading via autoload, but what you
need to think of is...

  o Only users who wanted to customise their key bindings for ebib
    would miss the autoload benefit.

  o The majority of your users won't add their own binding for ebib so
    they can load via `autoload' if they so choose without any
    trouble.=20

  o The benefits of loading ebib via `autoload' are _incredibly_
    small.=20

No, it couldn't happen, ebib.el needs to be loaded _before_.
