I took a look at ccache again, and it is definitely not what I was thinking of.
ccache is more aimed at accelerating multiple full compile rounds of the same
package, whereas I was thinking of improving dependency handling in makefiles
in order to simplify them - the same problem that 'gcc -M' solves, but to my
mind a more elegant solution. Although ccache can do this, I think it is
rather clumsy for the job, just as I wouldn't use it as a substitute for 'gcc
-M'.
On the other hand, I can live with the fact that you don't agree about the need
for this :) If I had time (and you were interested), I would take a look at
doing it myself, but unfortunately I don't...
