(To satisfy my own curiosity)

IIRC, Achim has added support for the above. I am unable to find the
link right now.

The below snippet is stolen from Makefile and adopted for interactive
use. If you call the below command from the rootdir of installation, it
would create an autoload file in
contrib/lisp/org-contrib-install.el. 

Note: Finding out the right paths is left as an exercise to the reader.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-contrib-autoloads ()
  (interactive)

  (unless (featurep 'autoload)
    (require 'autoload))

  (let ((file "contrib/lisp/org-contrib-install.el"))
    (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect file)
      (when (equal (point-min) (point-max))
	(save-excursion (insert "\n(provide 'org-contrib-install)\n")))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (call-interactively 'generate-file-autoloads)      
      (save-buffer)
      (kill-buffer))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

or 

If you look at the above org-contrib-install.el file it simply calls

(autoload ...) 

for the autoloaded things.

So if you often invoke a certain library through just a single command
then you can simply add the (autoload ...) for just that command to
.emacs.
