#1372: Recompilation checker should consider package versions
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Currently, if an installed package is upgraded, the recompilation checker
does not think that modules which use that package need to be recompiled.
Since the package version is part of the internal names, and because of
cross-package optimizations, this really needs to be done.
If the interface file would list which packages (including version
numbers) a module uses, we could decide to recompile whenever the packages
used by the module are different from those used in the current
compilation.
