It must have some time logic inside it.  After all it is working 
correctly for any dependencies and it provides the /B and /M switches. 
Unless I misunderstand what those switches are for.

I am trying to use want for my build tool.  I suppose I could extend the 
compile task to check file times before calling dcc.  However to 
properly do that I would need to ensure that I had all dependencies 
listed in the want script, or the compile task would need to parse each 
file to determine if any of it's uses references needed to be rebuilt.

That seems like a lot of work.  I have found that I am inherently lazy :-)
