I dont think you'll need the inline egg - it should be quite straightforward
to execute "csc" and compile a requested file into a cache directory, if it
has a higher modification time than the compiled version. Repeated loading
of .so's is ok (in fact, the runtime system tries to unload the old
version, which
might even work in some cases). Alternatively, you can compile s-expressions
by piping them into "csc -".
