Yes, that's right.  The class files in question are either ones that
I've authored myself, or else are created by particular
publishers/conferences and not included in major TeX distributions.

Thanks -- that procedure worked for the toy quux.cls file, but not for
the more complicated class files I'm actually using.  TeX-auto-generate
still failed to detect biblatex.  However, from looking at the style
file generate for quux.cls, I am guessing I can just copy the following
lines into the style files for my real class files:

(TeX-add-to-alist 'LaTeX-provided-package-options
                  '(("biblatex" "backend=biber")))
(TeX-run-style-hooks 
    "biblatex"))

Regards,
Tristan
