If I use PackageCompiler with a package with the force option enabled in order to embed the compilation on Julia system… How should I proceed if I want to compile and add another package?  
Is it an incremental process or do I need to compile all the packages simultanously again?

For example what should I do if I want to execete these tree lines?

```julia
PackageCompiler.compile_package("Makie", force = true)
PackageCompiler.compile_package("DataFrames", force = true)
PackageCompiler.compile_package("GLM", force = true)

```

What packages can be precompiled and what not?  
It would be great to be able to download everything already precompiled.

I don’t think this infrastructure is in place yet. We all want static compilation to be a thing, but you may have to arm yourself with patience.
