I guess this would work. But I'm concerned that it still doesn't build
everything correctly. Yes, you reset the timestamps of those files you
know need rebuilding. But what if you missed one?
I remember big problems when I had TSVN just "build" Subversion and not
"rebuild" - the build would succeed, but TSVN would sometimes crash in
strange places.

Since you don't usually have to rebuild Subversion that often (only if
we switch to another release), that time difference doesn't matter that
much (for developing, I don't rebuild Subversion but just TSVN).
