That was also what I thought might be a worry -- if .elc and .el are in
different directories, Emacs may not be able to find the .el file.
e.g. if you do "C-h f pwd RET"
you should see:
  pwd is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `files.el'.

files.el should be underlined.  If you press RET with point on files.el,
it should take you to the point in that file where pwd is defined.

Does that still work when the .el and .elc files are in different
folders?
