Actually, this isn't just a dupe of 2061. If there were some variable
you could set to prefer loading of .el if newer than .elc, it would
not help for the specific case of .emacs, because the setting would
have to go... in .emacs. Maybe there could be an environment variable
as well. But this probably remains a "wontfix".
