Yes, it would be.

Certainly ;)
But seriously, we would like to have our build system do that. 
Unfortunately, the BeOS cache has serious flaws which makes this a 
rather adventurous ride.
But since booting right now is pretty boring anyway, I wouldn't mind 
too much :)
We also need something to show at BeGeistert ;)

If this will all take too much time, I may even be tempted to write a 
small "howto haiku" :)
