What
Avoid loading files within current Emacs when generating autoloads
while Hyperbole is being loaded. Dispatch the autoloads generation to
a subprocess to work around eager macro expansion error when loading
Hyperbole.
Run autoload generation in a synchronous subprocess.
(hyperb:generate-autoloads): Use
hload-path--make-directory-autoloads-in-sync-subprocess.
Why
The same issue with loaddefs-gen: load error (error "Eager
macro-expansion failure: ...) occurs when the generation is performed
within a running Emacs since the generation is done while Hyperbole is
being loading. That is the same situation as before with the make
autoloads target.
