No, this doesn't work for what I have in mind - .comp is an executive command
and so can only be used interactively. You can't use .comp in a procedure.  I
want *my software* to be able to define functions on the fly, not myself.  So
it looks like the best solution really is writing out a new .PRO file to the
disk and compiling that.
