I asked to move those .elc files to the build directory and some hackers
explained why doing that would inconvenience them. The reason why it was
implemented is unknown to me, but IIRC support for out-of-tree builds
are a relatively recent development in Emacs, much more modern than the
transition to CVS. So the .elc files were on the source directory from
the beginning because there was no possibility for an out-of-tree build.
