I don't think that people will be happy if the compiler just deletes
their ppus if it can't read it for any reason. The compiler cannot know
if it can recreate the ppu when it deletes it.
Well, when a user asks compiler to compile, doesn't it also mean
"and whichever intermediate file(s) are wrong or missing, try to
(re-)create them automatically"?
What's the point of being so carefull about unreadable PPUs?
If a user have some very important PPUs s/he care about, then s/he
could:
- set read-only file permissions for these PPUs,
- move source files away from these PPUs to avoid auto recompilation,
- make backups as necessary.
