This whole thread is, obviously, only for developers, people that know the 
results of their source changes.
In the days that I was programming Java I liked this solution. But there a 
recompile is 30 seconds for a medium size project.
In my current environment I see a lot of little changes that I _know_ 
don't have any interresting results for my subproject in another dir.

In other words; I despise software that tries to be smarter then I am, and 
forces me to wait around while it goes through unneeded motions. I don't 
have any unread emails anymore, thats the advantage :-)

Your suggestion to solve this problem is to bring a bigger hammer.  While 
what I was asking for is a saw.
