Re: Completely non-recursive build

[Rik]

jwe,

I completely support this effort.  Engineering runs through a
design/build/test loop and for Octave one of the slowest parts of the loop
is the build.  The more we can do to parallelize this, and get the Makefile
rules right so that only the affected portions of code are rebuilt, the
faster we can make progress on Octave itself.

This should be doubly beneficial if you're going to use the compile process
itself to help identify the interface points between C++ and Fortran that
need changing.
