on another system i work with, we use disk-based breadcrumb semaphore files for 
the different stages and parts of those stages... one is created when the 
section is entered into and another when the section is successfully compiled... 
it is mostly all C stuff and uses make... it is all pretty much FM to me as i 
only start it and wait for it to reach my modules and see if they compile or 
fail... if they fail, i (w)hack at them some more... the breadcrumbs allow the 
compilation environment to pick up where it left off instead of spending two 
hours recompiling everything again up to the point of failure...

maybe this can give you some ideas?

FWIW: the above breadcrumb system that i speak of is in the development version 
of an open source firewall product that i work with ;)
