-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
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.
