Well, from what I've heard, ./configure generates the headers and
qmake, it is therefore all that is needed to:

1. compile the Java code,
2. compile the C++ code but not link it (and I haven't seen a target
in the generated Makefiles that would allow to compile and not link),
2. generate qmake,
3. run the generator.

The greatest accelerator I know of, however, is ccache. But it's gcc
only and, as far as I can see, Unix only. There is gocache, too, which
is a clone intending to support other compilers, but I haven't looked
into it... I don't even have a Windows machine to start with.
