This last comment "not a very smart one" is interesting. Do you care to
elaborate?
I saw all this mixture too in my build experience, and well...couldn't
figure out why. It seems historically dmake was used to speed things along,
but, well...I'm not sure how/why it's being used now exactly.
And, yes, I saw the gbuild branch was basically inactive and tried to tract
down some info on that, but couldn't find much discussion about it.
We do indeed need to devote discussion time to our build process after
4.0. I would hope we could at least make things simpler for folks wanting
to partial builds of areas.
