Ah, I now understand. Indeed an option to recompile everything could be
useful (for example for people who use both Emacs and XEmacs) however
introducing more (optional) options would mean a bit of work and saying
del lisp/*.elc isn't much work. I'll look if it can easily be done.

BTW: For your problem with smiley.el: Why don't you put your preferred
smiley.el in e.g. ~/mylisp and say

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/mylisp")

at the top of ~/.emacs, then this file would shadow the new Gnus
smiley.el and your hassle is gone.
