Dependency checking in javac and jikes is done with the whole fileset.  Just
recompile everytime and the software should optimize.

yuk... -1.

Why should I litter my directory with "compile masters".  Just give javac/jikes
all the files in your project and let them compile away.

I do have to admit that I do not use javac anymore.  Maybe in the 1.3 series it
is REALLY slow and I don't know about it.  If this is true then use jikes.  It
rules! :)
