I know what you feel, Sylvain. Been there ;-)
If you're an Emacs user it's trivial to set it up to automatically copy the file from the source directory in the build area. This way you edit the source file and when you save it, it's automatically updated in the running system.
I'm using this setup with flow scripts, which are reloaded automatically in the running system if they're modified on the disk. It makes implementing applications a real breeze.
Let me know if you're interested in this setup, and I'll email you the configuration.
Cheers, Ovidiu
