Folks, correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, the .py -> .pyc
compilation happens when the .py file is loaded by the Python
interpreter.  It would make sense for timestamps to be checked by the
interpreter to avoid unnecessary work.  I don't think 'make install'
has anything to do with this step.
