Using the include_regular_expression macro made a huge difference. The build
time was reduced by more than 50%.
The regular expression appear to be only applied to part of the dependency file
path. So in the case of Boost this works pretty well for us because we use
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp> but more difficult to remove qt dependency like
#include <QDir>. How do you view adding a feature that allow applying regex to
the absolute path? Secondly, the documentation of include_regular_expression
should probably mention something about the target string (relative path, not
absolute).
