	Arrrrghh! Each build I run takes an hour and a half, every time I want to test a tiny bug patch. How can I make the hurting stop?

	I know! God! Just imagine working on the networking code for a massive multiplayer project, where each little change requires not only the standard hour-long client build, but also several server builds.
