Subconsiously, I probably was. I wasn't really thinking of it explicitly.
Looking at the page again, I definitely read about it a few years ago, and
found it interesting, but it's too concrete about the actions that are taken,
which hurts portability.

The inspiration for this work was competition with ninja. tridactyla provided
a sketch of a patch for adding ninja support, and I started thinking again
about how I'd make mbld faster. I had ideas bouncing around for a while, and
that was the final push for me to say "Let's do it."

Around the same time mpu requested an obj/ dir again, and attempting to add
that feature reminded me that my code was shit. I decided to fix both problems
at once, and about a week later, I had this set of changes.
