yeah, that's true.

however, the most case in which the compilation breaks is a missing
check-in of some files (just like above).  and it's difficult to fix,
because forgetfulness is a nature of human being :)

such a problem may be reduced if we go to bitkeeper.
(or, even subvesion would help much in this regard?)
