I think if the compiler is going to be downloading files, it is
necessarily looking for those files... thus it'd become a bit of
a smarter build tool as a side effect of this change.

It'd be silly if it said "this module is missing, and I'll download
it, but I refuse to actually look at it once it's downloaded!"
