Or, roughly the same, if you have

  mzc --exe <exe> <src_1>.ss ... <src_n>.ss

you could run

  mzc --make <src_1>.ss ... <src_n>.ss

and then re-build <exe> when any "compiled/<src_i>.zo" changes.

You could also use the "cm.ss" library and extract the dependency
information from the ".dep" files that it generates. `mzc --make' is a
thin wrapper around "cm.ss".
