Look at subdirs.el (e.g. in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp):

,----[ subdirs.el ]
| (if (fboundp 'normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
|     (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))
`----

,----[ C-h f normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path RET ]
| normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path is a compiled Lisp
| function in `startup'.
| (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
| 
| Add all subdirectories of current directory to `load-path'.

| or `CVS', and any subdirectory that contains a file named `.nosearch'.
