Volunteered yes, but not accepted :-(

The main problem I spotted is not the recursive loading, but the 
retrieval of cached units. A related problem are all the global 
variables, that are not always updated in sync. This can lead to 
different "opinions", about compiled ppu modules and their source files, 
or about recompile reasons and state.

The pragma "FPC is an production compiler" effectively disallows to 
introduce safe (OO...) methods into the compiler code, so that we'll 
have to live forever with obscure compiler bugs :-(
