If you like.  For example, it's possible that if you killed all the
extents (including text properties) used, the problem would be
solved.  Note: I don't recommend you try it on my say-so, though, it
would likely be a lot of effort, and not quite work in the end.

Well, to be precise, for this purpose, compile-time is included in
run-time, AFAIK.  Ie if you can wrap in it (eval-when (compile eval)
...), Ilya wins, I bet.  Or if it's a package build-time constant,
(eval-when-compile ...) should do the trick.

I don't know if it's worth rearranging things to make that possible,
just so cc-mode can be dumped in an XEmacs configured --pdump, but I
think it should be possible.
