Cool.

I added :tag properties too so it looks nice in Customize and changed
the double `if' you had to handle these load-dirs variations to a
`cond'. But yeah, this is a good change. I was thinking that maybe
~/.emacs.d/load.d should be customizable (it shows up in 3 places and
may need to vary on W32) but it works either way.
