In startup.el, normal-top-level loads any subdirs.el files found in
load-path. Later on, it calls command-line which loads site-start.el
and default.el. This means that if these two files (or ~/.emacs) add
any directories to load-path, they don't get scanned for subdirs.el
files. Would there be any disadvantages to changing things so that
they were?
