Changing a macro's definition or worse changing a function into a macro
does require manual intervention (removal of some .elc files) but
adding a new macro should not require removing .elc files.
The reason why it turned out to be necessary in this case is because
mh-utils.el (where mh-require-cl is defined) and mh-customize.el require
each other.
This can be seen in the error messages posted by Eli:
Checking d:/gnu/new/emacs/lisp/mh-e...
Compiling d:/gnu/new/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-comp.el...
Source file `d:/gnu/new/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-e.el' newer than byte-compiled
file
Source file `d:/gnu/new/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-utils.el' newer than
byte-compiled file
Source file `d:/gnu/new/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-utils.el' newer than
byte-compiled file
Notice how mh-utils.el appears twice: once first because it's required by
mh-e, and a second time because while loading mh-utils, it required
mh-custom which itself required mh-utils (which still hadn't been
provided).
I think this double-loading of mh-utils should be fixed. A good way to do
that is to change mh-custom and mh-utils so they don't mutually require
each other.
By the way, the patch below is necessary if the double-loading of
mh-utils.el is fixed.
