Building patches that change format of interface files

[Jan Stolarek]

GHC Devs,

Once I compile GHC I use the "cd ghc; make 2" trick to re-compile any changes. That however does 
not work if my code changes modify the format of interface files - the resulting compiler is 
unusable. In fact the only way to get a working compiler after interface format change that I am 
aware of is to rebuild everything from scratch. Needless to say, this takes a lot of time. Is 
there a better way? I'd like to test D841 but if this means rebuilding everything then I'll have 
to pass.
