Hello,

I've begun using the "system" egg in one of my projects and it's been very
hepful. However, every time the executable is started, files are
recompiled, even if they haven't changed. Let me clarify:

I have the following .system file:

(define-system common
  (compiled-scheme-file "common/point")
  (compiled-scheme-file "common/bufops")
  (compiled-scheme-file "common/buffers"))

(define-system front-end
  (compiled-scheme-file "front-ends/faces")
  (compiled-scheme-file "front-ends/widgets")
  (compiled-scheme-file "front-ends/cairo-renderer")
  (compiled-scheme-file "main"))

I load it like so:

(use system
     posix)

(load "grafitti.system")

(load-system common)
(load-system front-end)

When running, I get several lines of output like:

; front-end: file "front-ends/widgets" needs to be reloaded because it
hasn't been loaded yet
; compiling front-ends/widgets.scm ...
  /usr/local/bin/csc -s -S -O2 -d2 front-ends/widgets.scm -o
/tmp/temp6bb7.so

It compiles to the "tmp" directory, every time. Ideally, I'd like the
shared objects to stick around and only be recompiled if the files are
changed. "build-system" works, but then the files are ignored by
load-system (as per documentation).

Is this the expected behavior?
