Don't bother.
a) use jikes instead of javac, it's much faster and gives better
diagnostics.
b) to rebuild, just list all the source (.java) files on the jikes
command line. Jikes will figure out what needs rebuilding and what
doesn't. If there are too many files, list them all (each on one
line) in a text file (e.g. 'sources') and specify '@sources' on
the command line.
If there is a single file in your project that directly or indirectly
depends on every other, you can also just specify that one file on the
command line.
