I think the basic problem of having old .elc is that
`require' loads it even if there exists a newer .el. Can't
we solve this problem by having a flag variable which, if
non-nil, forces loading whichever the newer one. Then we
can bind that variable to t on bootstrapping (or always on
byte-compiling).
