Both XLOAD-LEVEL-0 and COMPILE-CCL will sometimes REQUIRE other files
at compile time.  (It'd maybe be nicer if REQUIRE skipped a stale fasl
file and tried to load the source instead.)

In both cases, looking at the "find" or DIRECTORY output first wouldn't
be a bad idea, just to be paranoid.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to have a NUKE-CCL-FASLS function (and to
have XLOAD-LEVEL-0/COMPILE-CCL take an extra option that called it.)

The guy who maintains the patch that makes Mailman list archive searchable
had a disk crash several months ago.  His site seems to be back up, but
(as of a few days ago) the FreeBSD Mailman "port" hadn't been updated.
(It's probably not too hard to apply the patch manually - and reinstall
the Mailman software without using the FreeBSD build system - but I haven't
tried.  There may also be other ways of maintaining the list archives
(mhonarc ?) that may offer other search interfaces.)
