When emacs finds such a file it adds the subdirs to the load-path
If I put a similar file in my load-path it does not do any good.
subdirs.el is an internal mechanism that by design only works for
"standard" Emacs directories, not any that you might happen to add to
load-path (eg in .emacs).
But if one initializes load-path via the EMACSLOADPATH environment variable,
it looks like the subdirs.el trick will work.
Also why the fboundp stuff?
Perhaps for compatibility for Emacs versions without this function, eg
if they happen to share site-lisp directories.
