My thought was that if file A.el depended on file B.el, and B.el has changed, then there would just be a step in the compilation process that deleted both A.elc and B.elc, and then the rest of the process would continue on as before. (We need to delete B.elc because otherwise `(require B)' in A.el would load the old B.elc, and A.el might be byte-compiled before B.el.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
