I was reading in the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual about ways to
change the Emacs binary.  My .emacs has gotten fairly big, and I
think it would be nice to put together a new version of emacs that
incorporates my changes but that doesn't take a long time to load.
Would 

% emacs -batch -f (dump-emacs my-emacs /full/path/to/emacs/)

do this for me?
