driver assumes that foo.bar depends on foo.baz and has a cached obj for
foo.baz:
dmd -c foo/bar -rb -rxstd.* -rxfoo.baz
How is this a problem? If foo.baz is not needed, the linker won't link
it in. All the driver has to do is list the modules which shouldn't be
recompiled if their modification time hasn't changed.
This is a problem because 'something.else' might be a huge library you
don't need to recompile.
With the current approach you're first recompiling before you know the
dependencies. It's also the reason why you hardcoded std.* and core.*
into the exclude list. But this will miss other prebuild libraries, e.g.
vibe.
