In BlackBox, for my own convenience, I wrote a module called MyProject
what allows me to specify a single root module from which I can compile
all dependent modules and unload all dependent modules. This is useful
if one modifies a module somewhere in the hierarchy and then needs to
test the result (hence all modules need to be unloaded). MyProject
scans the IMPORT lists of all modules starting at the root. It excludes
BlackBox system modules.
