Well, my thoughts back when implementing that speedup were that the
speedup was more important than a few irritating messages.  I suppose
that's becomng less true as the long delays from the past fade from
memory.

The particular message about "<file> newer than byte-compile file; using
older file" is hard-coded into Fload in src/lread.c.  It was considered
important enough to supersede the flag variable force-load-messages.  It
also supersedes the parameter NOMESSAGE to Fload.

I don't know why this message is considered so important.  Maybe we
might reconsider its importance.  But there are already two flag
variables meant to control messages from Fload, so adding a third
special one probably wouldn't be a good idea.

This doesn't seem like an easy issue to resolve without nasty special
case code.  Either that, or we reconsider the mechanism of making the
..elc files older to trigger make's recompiling of the .el files to .eln.
Maybe there's a better way of doing that.
