Hi Matthew, Sorry, I was working on a solution to this yesterday, but I got sidetracked. Here's a demo <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/njl70ojvalhkri7/demo-make-incremental.html> I've been building. It's not complete yet, and the essential ingredient is still missing, so you might not even want to waste your time with it yet. I'll let you know if/when I solve it. In the meantime, if anyone else can come up with a solution, that'd be great.
