- Tim, I'm taking your question completely seriously. My reaction is
- one of utter amazement:
- Are you implying that re-compilation would be so obvious
- that mentioning it would be superfluous???
-
- Or did I read you wrong? Anyway, *I* have no idea how to implement
- such a thing on Unix, with or without re-compilation, and happily
- leave it to the programmers.
