I believe that the majority of the time the compiler spends is in
compiling the three library header files (grammar.h, verblib.h, parser.h).
I would think that if there were some way of pre-compiling these files it
would significantly decrease the time it takes to compile a game. Of
course, if you wanted to make changes to any of these files you would have
to re-compile them again.

Thoughts anyone?
