But the .ttc does seem to be set to the exact mtime of the corresponding 
.tt2. Just now, I had:

/usr/cricinfo/wcms/tt2/engine/match/scorecard_html.inc
2007-05-10 16:00:44.000000000 +0000

/var/cache/tt2/usr/cricinfo/wcms/tt2/engine/match/scorecard_html.inc.ttc
2007-05-10 15:45:25.000000000 +0000

then when accessing the .inc file (sometime after 4pm UTC incidentally), 
the times became:

/usr/cricinfo/wcms/tt2/engine/match/scorecard_html.inc
2007-05-10 16:00:44.000000000 +0000

/var/cache/tt2/usr/cricinfo/wcms/tt2/engine/match/scorecard_html.inc.ttc
2007-05-10 16:00:44.000000000 +0000

Wouldn't that defeat the entire purpose of having a compiled cached 
version? Or am I completely confused? (The smart money is on the latter)
