Hmmm... This sounds to me like you are fond of make files etc. I
actually
like IDL's way of automatic compilation, EXCEPT if one wants to
distribute
a program package and has to find out which files are needed. It would
certainly be useful to have a tool which would look for all
the routines that may be called from a "command" (i.e. pro or function
identical to filename), and lists the files in which they are found. Of
course, this does depend on your installation (order of searchable
libraries). I guess it would come down to a real or pseudo compilation
and could possibly be achieved by
some tricky use of the journal output ??? Has anyone written something
like this ?
Another useful option of such a program would be to filter out dead or
duplicate routines which linger around from old versions of a code.

Regards,
Martin
