Cool. :)

The binary backend isn't very good (it's probably as slow as 
make); I did the simplest thing that would work. I want to 
eventually optimise it so it's competitive with ninja and tup. 
But to do that I need to measure, and to do that I need to write 
the tup backend and a program to generate a synthetic project 
with thousands of files.
