Octave does take a long time to build. The problem is that it's deeply
interdependent. liboctinterp depends on liboctave depends on libcruft.
If you touch one of those, you have to rebuild the latter one in the
chain. Plus you have to relink every oct file in src/DLD-FILES. Two
minutes to wait for a rebuild isn't so long. Think of it as your
moment of zen as you ponder the code you just wrote, and its position
in the universe.

I don't think slowing down your coding a little with 1.5 minutes of
waiting for a rebuild is so bad.

And thanks for helping us improve Octave, this sounds very nice. I
hope your project is successful.
