Interesting idea. But note that "TEMPORARY" does not remove file, no matter 
how unintuitive that is. In Perforce Jam, you'd have to call "RmTemps" rule 
to actually remove files and V2 does not have such mechanism yet (must be 
simple to add). 

I'd like also to know what Dave thinks --- he must have good experience with 
Jam tricks from work on testing system for V1.
