Hm.
Wouldn't this fit well into what a [programmable] module system does (i.e. calculates dependencies and invokes compiler)?
Do you have closer thoughts on how this build/compilation process can work - like, what's the process and the conditionals

I've been thinking about modularity problems (aside from actual module systems). One of the problems I have is that invoking gsc from a Makefile is pretty rough because of dependencies. I almost always end up with files not recompiling.
I'm thinking of a simple build tool which takes a directory structure like so:
bin/ lib/ test/
And just does the right thing. All the lib files compiled independently, with dependencies calculated, files which have a hash mark in them are skipped. The resulting files are linked against each program in bin/ and test/, and test programs are run.
Just this much functionality would be a huge improvement for my workflow.
Deisgn thoughts? -Jason
