leim-list.el and registering input methods

[Dan Nicolaescu]

Is there a reason that input methods are not registered in the dumped image?
Instead they are registered at run time, even in batch mode: 

$ strace -o out.strace /usr/bin/emacs-23.1 -Q -batch -f kill-emacs
$ grep leim-list.el out.strace

(Invalid argument)

Wouldn't it be better if all these things where done before dumping?
