I thought you were shooting for "truly awesome" :-) You're already at 
"awesome".

I would assume that if any javac classes have changed, then all 
downstream compilations need to be redone.  Conceptually, that means 
that all downstream compilations should depend on something like 
build/bootstrap/lib/javac.jar.
