Yes, and getting them onto an Android device is sometimes a little
awkaward.  (I've been doing stuff involving mounting the device as a
USB disk on a Mac (a Windows or Linux box should work as well), doing
an "svn checkout" and periodic "svn updates" to a CCL directory on the
mounted disk, then unmounting it and using symbolic links from the
subdirectories /mnt/sdcard/ccl (where the svn tree is) to subdirectories
of /data/local/ccl.

Anyway: REBUILD-CCL compiles sources to FASLs and builds a heap image out
of those FASLs, and it's not going to be able to do much if the sources
aren't there.

Yes. More precisely, symbols that're read by #$/#_ are interned in that
package.
