Yes, this is a side effect of the changes I did to fix another problem
in the build process. I decided to wait with the remaining cleanup for
a while to see, whether new problems come up with the changes I did
(I think I did them shortly before 0.9.10). As the unnecessary compilation
doesn't hurt (except for the time they cost), I didn't want to remove
them until the build process has proven stable. Unless I find the time
to do the next step of cleanups tomorrow, things will have to wait for
another week.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want ist just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
