This is but a layer of paint over the real problem.
Unneeded Dependencies. Programming should not be a game of
jenga.
Piling things on top of other things rarely works out.
Having unittests included from precompiled libraries is a problem
in and of itself. This is causing many templates to be
instantiated that will never be used by the application, killing
compilation time.
There are also other problems...here's a link to my description
of "Lazy Imports" that I think would help other issues we
currently have.
