I don't know if it supposed to speed startup, but I suppose it's
probably some other reason.
There's code in `command-line' that tries to make sure that the
WINDOW_SYSTEM-win file is loaded, and it errors out if it is not.
It then proceeds to call the x-handle-args (all the
term/*-win.el files provide such a function)
After that the function
WINDOW_SYSTEM-initialize-window-system. (all the term/*-win.el files
provide such a function now).
Again, this is just reading the code, not implying anything about why
any of these things are done in that way.
So what is the problem with having *-win loaded by default?
This discussion started because the port was having issues because
mac-win.el was requiring "url" for some of its functions. Those can be
moved to another file and the port can arrange to have the functions
in question properly loaded.
