The IDE uses them to determine if a rebuild (all) is needed.
If it is missing on next compile, the IDE assumes a rebuild is needed.
This means you don't need to store them in a source only repository (e.g. svn, 
git).
If you distribute binary files (e.g. .ppu files) you should provide them. There 
is a platform independent version of the .compiled files. See the 
Makefile.compiled files.
