What does this mean in terms of the run-time requirements in order to
get the doc strings for preloaded files?  Does it mean their *.elc
files should be available from the installation tree?  Or does it mean
the *.el files (which might be compressed) must be available?  And
what does this mean for a natively-compiled installation?

If there are any non-trivial consequences of this change, i.e. distros
will now need to make sure something happens that they didn't before,
I think we should get their opinions before we install this.

Thanks.
