One way to do this would be to compile the whole lot with buildclean
turned on. Then turn buildclean off, make clean in the gnopernicus
directory and go from there.

You'd have to do two complete builds of gnopernicus this way, but I
guess that isn't so bad.

To build it again after your modifications, just remove the build
cookies from the cookie directory.
