I wouldn't say that this is the real problem. That's just the trigger that
makes it more annoying. I just consider it bad form to compile thousands of
classes again and again, when it would be totally possible to build them
beforehand and just use the class files afterwards, since that's what is
apparently done during the non-bootstrap build. I have to admit I'm rather
puzzled by javac's decision to recompile everything all the time, even after I
add the output directory (or a copy thereof) to its classpath.
