When I tested I didn't do a full build.  I'll gladly move the call

  Fprovide (intern ("hashtable-print-readable"), Qnil);
  
to wherever it belongs, but I don't see `provide' called in any other .c
files except for xfns.c (X functions), dbusbins.c, process.c, and
terminal.c.  I don't think this `provide' call belongs in any of them.
I guess process.c is the closest one, but I'd rather not pollute it with
unrelated code.

I can put the `provide' call in the lisp/ tree but again, I don't know
where it should go there.
