So maybe we should separate the preloaded *.eln files from the rest of
them.  Say, put the *.eln files for the preloaded Lisp files into a
special subdirectory of native-lisp/XX.YY.ZZ-xxxxxx/, let's call it
"preloaded".  Then in that subdirectory we never remove stale *.eln
files, because there might be a .pdmp file that references them.  The
*.eln files in other places can be cleaned up when they become stale.

WDYT?
