But the patch makes it build a lot more things. It always built around
20 targets, now it builds around 200.

I did a:

find -newer newfile.txt
Where newfile.txt is a file with the timestamp set for now.
And nothing returned.
If I read the find manpages correctly, it should return all files that are
newer than newfile.txt. In this case in the future.

I'll try to setup a minimal test with all features I use in boost.build
(install/install-dependecies, idl, resources, etc).
