I've fixed the log message though, so it should read now just "File
'...' was modified in the future. Please re-save."

This is planned, but (AFAIK) this is not yet possible in an optimal way
due to how DMD emits symbols to object files. Currently the only
reliable way to build incrementally is to compile a single file at a
time, but this is very inefficient compared to compiling multiple files
in one go.

A middle ground, which will be added in one of the next versions, is to
build and cache each dependency as a separate static library. But this
will still always build each complete package in one go, so all
templates as well.
