There are issues with using "--build-mode=singleFile

out some intermediate files (it looks like the file names may
be too long for Windows) and on Linux, it makes the executable
at least 3 MB larger in release mode. Also, it doesn't always
seem to make building faster. On a 2 core i7 machine, it
actually takes nearly twice as long to build.
On my old i7-950, simple demo (cairo_clock) compiles (in release
mode) below 4 minutes and uses 1.8GB of RAM (linux, one core
used).
Rebuild is done in about 3 seconds.
I think Windows may introduce some problems in case of parallel
access to files (especially if something is deleted). But I have
no idea why your builds last so long. :/
