I thought that was implied in "to be more correct than recompile" ;-)

Oh, I usually do (in a .BAT)
cvs update
cd nt
make maintainer-clean ; realclean before
configure
make bootstrap install
as the first thing in the morning, and I let it happily compile. Time
is not much of an issue, I use 22.X meanwhile.

I don't, either (I use cvs-update from lisp/), but as of yesterday,
nt/INSTALL includes this:
make recompile
Recompiles any changed lisp files after a cvs update. This saves
doing a full bootstrap after every update. If this or a subsequent
make fail, you probably need to perform a full bootstrap, though
running this target multiple times may eventually sort out the
interdependencies.
so it would be perhaps preferable for recompile (from nt/) to do a bit
more work and be more correct.
Just a nitpick, though.
