Two thoughts. First, sounds like a job for "make" on the development machine. That way only the dependencies will be updated as needed. Make is usually used to rebuild only the parts of a developing program that have actually changed.
Second, you can use "rsync" to transfer the generated files to the host. Rsync only updates the files that have changed, and only transfers the parts of the files that have actually changed. Pretty handy stuff. In fact, depending on your application, (like if bandwidth is your principal concern) this may be all you need. - Matt Warnock, President RidgeCrest Herbals, Inc.
