I tend to agree.

That reminds me: I think ideally, we should see the pdmp files as the
executables and the temacs file as a runtime library (after all,
a single temacs file can be used with several different pdmp files).

If we could find a nice&portable way to turn the pdmp files into
executables, then that would be The Right Way.
