Which is good for debugging, but bad for fixing issues. if you fix something, 
you want the fix to propagate :)

I'm not sure, I consider it hackish, but thats my feeling.

I have a script for cleaning up the file lists anyway according to macro names, 
so you don't have to do that, I can just run it.

yep,but a machine with 64 cores will still die on meinproc.

no, icecream has the feature to serialize anything that is not a compile job. 
e.g, if you do

ln -s /opt/icecream/bin/icecc /opt/icecream/bin/meinproc4

and use meinproc4 (adjusting $PATH), then it will make sure that meinproc4 is 
not run in parallel at all, while other things still parallelize as needed.
