Nope. This was one giant compile of one source file. (Well, lots of nested 
includes, etc.) I didn't have to log back in, restart the compile, or 
anything like that. Plus, of course, on Linux, you'd have a corrupted output 
file, because Make doesn't check that the compile finished, only that the 
object code has a timestamp later than the source code.

Probably true. Unless like you're a giant corporation or something, yeah.

And vice versa.
