Oops, big mouth syndrome here, it would be actually more complex 
because a persistent associative array is needed to link 
filenames to modules, projects to filename, date stamps to 
filename, etc...Otherwise at each execution there are a lot of 
stuff to parse. dastworx does not implement these features 
because they are done in an IDE module (the "libman").
