Are all .el files supposed to have either a Package: header or a
`provides' these days?  I wasn't aware of that...

Hm...  I see that Chong did something like that with all the preloaded
.el files in bd78fa1d544, so I guess that's true?

I think it's separate thing, but it should have a provides, so I've now
added that.
