my new compiling technique is unstoppable

Despite the fact that I'm working in Perl, and relatively small quantites thereof, the build system I've constructed is a little dumb about dependencies and tends to take WAY too long to establish that I've got a syntax error in a single script.

What, are Makefiles too last-millennium for you? Punk.

It's using Makefiles. Unfortunately there's a lot of 'import this third-party chunk of code and massage it' that you can't write straight-up dependencies for and they need to get built every time.

C'mon, what do you take me for, some sort of whiny Irish developer guy?
