I have no difficulty thinking it. You need to stretch your mind. My decision is to do what Miles suggested. you already wasted more of your time on this discussion than you (or, rather, _your computer_!) would have spent on un-necessary recompilations; so your approach is a total loss. Recompilation of all of Emacs seems to take around ten minutes on my computer. I have not spent anywhere near ten minutes on this discussion. But I agree, let's not spend more time on it.
