No, because compile_version determines which version of Compile one needs
to have to parse the declarations in the Recipe.
If an older version of Compile (e.g., 1.3) was able to recognize all
keywords in the former version of the Recipe, then that same version of
Compile should be able to recognize the keywords in the new version of that
recipe (because NewVersion does not change anything besides the url and the
md5sum).

It is hard to detect dependencies automatically. We try to automate it by
extracting explicit dependencies from the executable files through objdump.
Let me know if you have a different approach that could improve that.
