Does anyone see any value in tweaking the infrastructure such that:

If using zfs:

unroll source once
snapshot  (this being our pristine source)
apply patches and build, etc

a rebuild would just do some zfs maintenance such that
the directory is rolled back to the snap, resnapped (if we
even need to do such a thing) and apply patches again
against the source.

this would save a goodly bit of time on rebuilds not having
to remove (which is pretty small) compared to having to
reimage the source (which for qt, is pretty big).

WDYT?

Ben
