I doubt dustmite could work for my use case. I develop the entire 
application before compiling, so I usually end up with 1000s of code 
errors to go through. Some IOCs turn up, so I usually have to tweak the 
compiler to keep on going. I'll run dustmite if I can reproduce after 
everything compiles.
