Okay.  So, would it make sense to encode file dependencies in the
manifest?  Based on this conversation, I'm assuming the answer is
going to be no, but it would be good to know the reasons (or a link
to the thread if this has been hashed out before).

As demonstrated, this behaviour is easy enough to simulate using the
existing tools and some extra meta-data.  What would be the problem
with adding explicit support for it?

Venky.
