Please re-read what I wrote about the use cases we have to support and
the discussion to which I pointed.  No single method can support all
the situations which Emacs needs to support.  So there's no "the
recommended method": even if we add /proc/self/exe, it can only be one
of the methods we use to find where the *.eln files are, and not
necessarily the most important one.
