Ok. Just for the sake of clarity, I meant that one can modify the
intermediate lisp, and have those changes picked up by the build
process without them being overwritten by a fesh tangling of a
pamphlet.

Sure. Still unclear about how that relates to getting rid of int/, as
its just another directory. Of course, Im the first to admit I have
near-zero experience with "non-conventional" file systems,
particularly windows. Regardless, my main concern is the current
property of int/ w.r.t re-make, as mentioned above.
Many thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions!
Take care,
Steve
