the problem is that load-system is meant for interactive
development. Since reloading already loaded extensions is not possible
on some platforms, the temporary files approach is taken. I agree that
it would make sense to be able to use `build-system' and then also load
it though. Perhaps `load-built-system' or something would be a good
addition to the system egg, Felix?
