By convention, the compiled code for a library goes in a separate file
whose name consists of the library source file with @samp{c} appended.
Thus, the compiled code for @file{foo.el} goes in @file{foo.elc}.
That's why @code{load-library} searches for @samp{.elc} files first.

@vindex load-dangerous-libraries
@cindex Lisp files byte-compiled by XEmacs
  By default, Emacs refuses to load compiled Lisp files which weren't
compiled with Emacs.  This is because an incompatible change was
introduced into XEmacs' byte compiler, which could produce files with
byte codes that cause Emacs to crash.  Set the variable
@code{load-dangerous-libraries} to t if you want to change this
behavior.
