That seems to work now, if you:

- Use the automatic servlet mapping as described here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/server/auto-servlet.html

- Use require with a source file name (normally relative)
to "import" any dependencies.

Then a source file is automatically recompiled when it or
one of its dependencies changes.
