If you add /fast to a target name "make myTarget/fast", it builds that
target without worrying about its dependencies (like "Build only this
project" in Visual Studio).

I thought "make clean/fast" was supposed to work but it looks like it
doesn't. That target does exist but I guess I don't understand its
purpose since it cleaned everything in my build tree.

You might be able to remove the relevant myTarget.dir directory to get
the same effect. You may have to rerun CMake after you do this; I'm not
sure.
