This didn't work for me.  It would load my text .emacs file, but not
the byte-compiled "equivalent" of it.  I'm not sure why: my version of
emacs? the way I autoloaded elec-c?  Anyway, I did
    (autoload 'elec-c-mode "elec-c" "" t)
    ...
    (setq c-mode-hook 'elec-c-mode)
    (setq elec-c-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (setq c-auto-newline t)
             ...
           )
          )

instead, and that works both ways.
