loadup.el loads the .el version of international/mule-conf.el
Here are printouts for GC stats before and after loading the file.
The current version:

Loading the .el generates a lot more garbage: >4000 extra
free conses and >1000 extra free strings.
This is not good idea when dumping.
Any objection to allow international/mule-conf.el to be byte compiled?
