Dependancies always need to be compiled. If targets already exist, it shouldn't recompile
them, and I doubt it does...

The problem is that the parser takes a very long time to decide what actually needs to
get recompiled.

I would recommend using make over scons. It also has an additional benefit: using
'make quicky=source/blender/src' will only go through the files in that specific
directory, making compile of a single modified file and link a matter of 3 seconds.
