I havent thought this through very well, but I would be interested in a
mechanism that speeds up searching for files, as well as dealing with
various file names issues, for embedded devices. I was thinking this
could be done with some kind of lisp reader that consults and index file
and reads the elisp files from an archive(like a tar file).
