Based on what Tim said, I don't think I'm going to gain much from
elimintating "old" boot at the moment.  The build time, as I see it, is
dominated by building the algebras.  And each algebra file seems to me
to take forever to compile.  Making compilation faster is going to
speed up the built process.
