That's the point. Specifying the dependencies between files avoids
recompiling the whole UCW when a change is made to, say, just one
file. ASDF will only recompile what depends on that file. It's a big win
in large systems.

Anyway, I guess it's up to the developer(s) to decide whether it's worth
the trouble to specify the dependencies.
