Hmmmm.  Thought provoking.  Of course, what's really behind any logic
like this is "has the code changed since last it was cached?"  The
modification time is the canonical way to check because looking up
inode attributes is much faster than any other method and is "good
enough" (yes, the mod time could change without any of the content
actually changing, like via touch, but we're willing to accept that
because any other method of checking would be just as expensive, if
not more so, than exec'ing the source).

While I don't have a problem with changing this in mpservlets I have
this nagging feeling there's a good reason for keeping looking for
future modification times as opposed to any modification time.
However, non leap to mind.  Can anyone think of any reason not to go
for this change?
