 I'm trying to remove some obsolete code from GHC's back end. (It will live
 forever
 in darcs).  The only workflow I can find that works is
 {{{
 cd $TOP
 ./configure
 (cd compiler; make -k -j 5)
 }}}
 This workflow is really expensive; on a 4-processor machine it is costing
 me 48 seconds every time I remove a file...
