[Oberon] Re (2): new symbol file

[Felix Friedrich]

Hi Bernhard,

I second that. OP2 and its successors definitely use fine grained finger 
printing. Many versions of Native Oberon were based on OP2.  Its 
fingerprinting was / is pretty fine grained, i.e. changes do only make 
recompilation of immediately affected code necessary.

Regards
Felix
