What could be done in this case is to always build the DLL from
scratch whenever it is to be updated. (We then consider adding all the
keys as a single step.) I don't see how this is different from
building .a or .so libraries; those formats also support incremental
updates, but (currently) the plan is to always rebuild them from
scratch for the sake of build reproducibility.
