Linux P4 3.4 GHz: real    0m5.212s  user    0m4.330s  sys     0m0.320s
MacOS G4 1.5 GHz: real   0m17.100s  user   0m12.740s  sys     0m2.720s

Maybe you can use "$?" in some way?  It would be fine for me to trade a 
slowdown (e.g. the full dependencies being built in twice the time) in 
the first compilation, with a much smaller edit-compile-debug delay.
