Long file names are annoying, so removing that level of directory would
make it worse in my book.

Good.

Fine. We might want to introduce an `eln-load-path` for that.

I don't like this idea (and symlinks are problematic under w32).

A loop around `eln-load-path` seems like a fairly small price to pay and
the extra lookup is likely to be negligible compared to all the lookups we
do to find the `.elc` file anyway.
