Well, that's not really a good option. It might help when you have to
recompile from scratch, for incremental compiles that will hurt quite a
bit.

I know other systems do that, but I hate it. I think the header belongs
as close the source file as possible, which is in the same directory.
The install does copy all of them together, but that doesn't help for
compiling the libs.

That's a definite that I really want to do with 2.

Some other experiences we found for speeding up compiling on Windows:
- never ever try to compile on a network drive. SMB is incredibly slow.
- if you're using the McAffee virus scanner, stop it. Not just
deactivate, it has to be stopped and out of the system. Apparently the
scanner takes quite a while every time a program starts, and with make
there are thousands of program/script starts.
Concerning the .pdb files: I just added a little bit of code to the
dailybuild that will add them to the binary snapshots. They're in a
separate directory called pdb. Should be in tomorrow's dailybuilds.
Hope it helps
Dirk
