The borland compilers (C++ Builder and Delphi) only compile source files
that have changed, anyway I though make would do this anyway for you no
matter what platform you develop on. Also the compiler makes a significant
difference, for example Delphi only does a single pass so it is very quick,
in fact compiling a Delphi project is not much slower than running say a VB
application (which is interpreted). Try comparing the compile times between
VC++ and Delphi, the difference is quite staggering.
