I have written some code to provide separate compilation of
byte-code. Currently the speedup is not very high (about a factor of
3) but I plan to add what I have to Sunterlib within the next few
weeks.
I do not want to let the progress of the packaging proposal depend on
the availability of this code and propose therefore to ignore this
issue in the first version.
