When compling a file in clisp, two new files are produced: a .fas file
and a .lib file. Is it correct to assume both of these must be loaded in
order for things to work properly. What exactly does the .lib file do?

When compiling a module that REQUIRE's other modules, the .lib files
are a way to inform the compiler of submodule information without
re-compiling the submodules. If the .lib files are absent, no harm
is done, it just takes longer.

One can refer to source files without the file-type and CLISP
will compile and/or load the lsp, fas, lib as appropriate.
