There is quite a lively discussion going on on the scons development list at sourceforge about this very issue. Cons (and scons) uses an innovative scheme for cacheing dependency information that I find quite compelling. I am beginning to think we should just build this mechanism into the underlying Jam engine. I need to look at it a bit more carefully, but it seems like it could solve lots of problems.

Could you describe it?

While reading mail makes for a nice change from forcing a huge chunk of broken source code to compile on a similarly broken beta-quality and overhyped CPU (<- letting off steam), I don't particularly want to subscribe to another mailing list.
