yep, I like the way that train of thought is going...:)

One important thing to remember is that this is a build-time context,
not a database or other type of persistent storage. If you wanted to
detect farthest-progress between builds, you'd have to look in some
other place (maybe a file, or just a timestamp comparison of the
end-product artifact vs. the sources or something...

The point is, this could help make a single build process more
efficient, but not a series of builds.
