FWIW I did a strings on a basic Unix build, and I got (1) a bunch of
references to the source C files (possibly from Aidan's patch
referenced previously) and (2) some self-referential error-checking
code in tests.c and text.h.  This was configured "configure
--with-prefix=no" and I did strings on temacs, not the dumped xemacs.
Doing strings on the dumped file also comes up with (3) a bunch of
references to .elcs, as well, presumably in the load-list.
