How can I get c++-mode to autoload based on the extension of the file I'm
editing?  If I type 'emacs filename.c++' I want c++-mode to be loaded.
I have the following in my .emacs:


(setq load-path (append load-path '("/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/local")))

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append '(("\\.c$" . c-mode)
		("\\.h$" . c-mode)
		("\\.C$" . c++-mode)
                ("\\.H$" . c++-mode)
		("\\.c++$" . c++-mode)
		("\\.h++$" . c++-mode))
	      auto-mode-alist))

(autoload 'c++-mode "c++-mode.elc" "c++ mode" t nil)


If I do a M-x c++mode it loads fine.  What am I doing wrong?
