That was due to really broken practice in xwem. This is a bug
(introduced by me, to be specific).

My take is that it's a bad idea. The underlying bug here is that the
package needs to be refactored so that only the needed code gets into
auto-autoloads, or a library created for this purpose is explicitly
loaded with the NOMESSAGE flag (a la vc-hooks). If we just suppress
the message, then you could get all of calc and gnus loaded at
startup, and you'd never know why the startup sequence time
doubled. ;-)
