Another small difference between runing an interactive emacs and doing
"emacs -batch" and loading your .emacs is that under "emacs -batch" it
is possible that the directory pointed out by user-emacs-directory
does not exist, and locate-user-emacs-file quite deliberately takes
steps not to create it (because otherwise you'll end with .emacs.d/
directories at unexpected places, while bootstrapping,etc.)
