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.

Regards.
