I would call them .elo or maybe .el.o files.
Having played with the bytecode a lot lately, I think writing a
translator from elisp bytecode to C wouldn't be all that hard. Making
this transparent to the users will be much harder, since lisp
libraries will suddenly no longer be architecture-independent, and
you'll need a C compiler to finish the byte-compilation process.
