Are these compile-time dependencies?

There are at least 82 .el files in lisp/** than are not compiled.

If you just want for the files not being byte-compiled, you can use

  -*- no-byte-compile: t -*-

or

  ;; Local Variables:
  ;; no-byte-compile: t
  ;; End:

but, are these packages usable when non-compiled? Because if they're
not, they should simply be excluded from the Emacs tree, I think.
