We're actually not to far away from being able to do this. SCons already
has a --interactive mode that gives you a prompt and lets you (re-)build
arbitrary targets without having to load up the configuration each time. So
it already knows how to clear the proper state to do something like this.
AIUI, Visual Studio actually has a pretty decent plugin architecture, and we
should be able to find a way to pass the right target to a persistent
instance of SCons (probably in some more structured format than a
white-space-separated command line).
I think this is also how we get to something that can implement CTRL-f7,
which is not something it can handle right now... :-(
(Linux porters: it might be worth trying --interactive mode, but I haven't
highlighted it because I don't think it's going to be a huge win for you--or
at least not right now. It only optimizes out reading the SCons
configuration and building the DAG, and that's not a huge portion of the
overall build time right now.)
