When building libraries of course.
Why would you want recursive compilation plus specifying multiple
modules?
For a library, you generally know the exact set of modules to be
built. If not in a makefile / build script, you could write one
dummy module that imports all of the library's components, and
use that as the root of incremental compilation.
