I'm not sure why we actually have the elc-files that we dump

convenient in a lot of ways but since they are dumped they should
never have to be loaded again.
Because XEmacs takes "open source" seriously. That is, if the
libraries are edited, the .elc needs to be compiled and loaded.
People still do that in-place because of find-library. People also
will load the .el for debugging, and when things are working again,
reload the .elc.
