I had actually tried the aforementioned snippet (placed in
ahungry-theme.el) in the past, but it never gets evaluated unless I have
a (require 'ahungry-theme) in the init (which is how I discovered that
the simple 'require' applies most the theme).

Adding the following to ahungry-theme-autoloads.el:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path (or (file-name-directory #$) (car
load-path)))

lets a simple (load-theme 'ahungry) work as expected (prompt to trust
the theme, and a second to remember the trust choice), as well as
applying the theme, without requiring user intervention of setting the
custom-theme-load-path in their init.

Since I have a dependency defined in the theme file of ((emacs "24)),
which will thus have the load-theme support, it is probably unnecessary
to have a check for (boundp 'custom-theme-load-path) right?

If I manually create and add an "ahungry-theme-autoloads.el" file in
elpa/packages/ahungry-theme, will it supersede the one Elpa creates
automatically?
