It should re-compile and re-load only those files that are AFTER the
source file that you have modified.  If, e.g., the source file you
modified is at the head of a list of components that are collected by
:serial t, then this behavior is expected.

If you can find a case where a file that is UPSTREAM from the modified
file is also recompiled, then you have found a bug.  If so, please
report it, list the set of steps (which file modified, in particular),
and exhibit the .asd file, so that we can replicate the problem.
