One other comment on the tests... They don't mention the build system
vs. compile times. In game development, yes that's one of the things I
did/do, the overall build times completely overshadow the time spent by
the build system itself.

And another... The slow build times for Windows are likely due to the
creation of the temporary *.BAT files. Windows is terribly slow at new
file creation.
