I was just looking at the current situation, and there are a few bugs.

  1. Precompiled files are never used; only the fallback path (~/.cache)
     is used. This is because resolve-module calls `load' in the
     versioned case, and only `primitive-load-path' scours
     `%load-compiled-path'. The solution is going to be complicated, and
     require some refactoring. I don't want to implement the mtime dance
     again.

  2. Version order: Hoo, dunno. See above. Is "first compatible" the
     right thing, or should we be smarter (and more wasteful)?

Any thoughts? :)
