module A uses module B because it calls a routine in module B

module B uses module A because it calls a routine in module A

neither compiles because each needs the other mod file.

So in A I comment out the use of B and the calls to B. I compile
A. Then I compile B. Then I uncomment the use of B and the calls to
B in A. Then I compile A. From then on I can compile each as long
as I dont change the calling sequences and I dont make clean.

This is silly, ugly, etc, but it works.

What am I missing ?
