I wasn't suggesting emacs autoload every mode, but rather that emacs
simply read the files, and offer me the choice of using modes defines in
such files.
E.g. do the same as
$emacs -l /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/python-mode.el
If I start emacs by just typing "emacs", and then use "esc-x"
python-mode is not an option. However, If I use the -l option,
python-mode is not automatically loaded, but emacs will then offer me
the option of loading it later.
Your suggested additions to my .emacs file, seems to work, though.
