I wrote it as a library so all we have to do in the core is call
`user-load-dirs-load' (or some alias to it) after loading the
`user-init-file'.  The central point several of us have been making is
that we want `user-load-dirs-load' called automatically, not when the
package or library are explicitly loaded, to make using this library a
simple matter of customizing a single variable (the
`user-load-dirs-list').

If you and Chong don't want that, then I'll put it in the ELPA.
