I don't have time to check whether your fringe.el is coherent with the
way we handle other such issues.  Could someone please do that?

It would be useful to compare with the way scroll bars are handled,
since they too can be on either side.  The situation is not entirely
parallel, since you'd only have a scroll bar on one side, whereas
fringes are normally on both; nonetheless, there is probably some coherence
to be had between scroll bars and fringes.

What I see immediately is that you set up loadup.el to preload this file.
That's wasteful--please autoload the entry points instead.
