It seems that removing a call from a .el file that already has a .elc
companion and byte-compiling the .el file results in a .elc file that
has the same mtime as the .el file, but still has the call that was
removed from the .el file.

For example:

	file: vm.el
	contents: mostly some setqs, some autoloads, and some defuns
	action: remove one of the setqs and byte-compile the file

	file: vm.elc
	contents: seemingly the same as the previous vm.elc
	action: post to gnu.emacs.bug, too harried to investigate it further

Sorry not to investigate it and post the fix (or the explanation for
why it isn't a bug) but I know I wouldn't get to it for some time and
one of y'all might know just what the problem is.
