Thanks for the responses. In this case, the common use case would be
writing/changing the NIM files, which in turn require the C files to
be rewritten. (The users are writing in NIM, and C generation to them
is just an implementation detail and means to an end.)

It sounds like this is going to be a pain.

I appreciate everybody's responses on this.

Thanks,
Eric
