Almost gets it - but dependency tracking is still broken.  However, I've 
just committed a version that fixes that as well by simply copying the 
actual pch file generated to the file name that BB expects.  Let me know if 
there's a better way!

Meanwhile, I've *almost* got the intel-linux pch support working, but I'm 
not sure if the command lines are quite right yet, as the compiler is 
emitting some warnings about not being able to use the pch file.  Will 
investigate this some more...
