You won't. LWO's can't be tracked. Any reference to a LWO keeps it
alive eternally, which would be a disaster. The whole point of LWO's
is that they spring into existance and disappear without attachments.

You can, of course, use compile_object() on an already compiled LWO
master object and it will update all the LWO's made from it. I'm not
sure what you mean by an upgrade() function; you only need a complex
upgrade mechanism for recompiling inheritables.
