[DGD] preserving vars after lib recompile

[Noah Gibbs]

  This is a hard problem.  The Kernel lib solves it by not allowing data in libraries if I remember correctly.  You could also have upgrade scripts that saved off the data and reloaded it, but that will be ugly -- every object will have to maintain those scripts or upgrading will lose data...
