Again, its operational, isn't it? When "dumping" pre-compiled files
from one server to another, instead of overwriting an existing
templates_c dir, create a new one and have the application point to
that one instead. No conflicts. I don't see why it should be Smarty's
responsibility if timestamps (that were created elsewhere) are not
consisitent on the local server or to determine the capabilities of the
opcode caches, etc.
