   Before I start on that patch (generic_load needs serious surgery) I'm
   wondering if the entire function hould simply be moved to remote.c or
   target.c, remote-load.c, generic-load.c, remote-utils.c?

I contemplated this once upon a time, and decided to leave it where it
is.  It's certainly not appropriate for remote.c because it's used
with many different protocols, remote-utils.c is a bunch of old junk
that ought to be deleted, target.c is really for target vector
manipulation, not random code.  generic_load is nearly unique in that
it is a file-manipulating function that does not use symbolic info,
but it's just one function and not even that complicated, so why
bother to create a new file just for it?
