That's interesting. May I suggest that you take a look at a book called
"Temporal Data & the Relational Model" by C.J. Date, Hugh Darwin and
Nikos Lorentzos
(http://www.amazon.com/Temporal-Relational-Kaufmann-Management-Systems/dp/1558608559).
It describes the best approach I've seen this far to dealing with
temporal data.

Well, you don't need to run configure every time you want to build. If
you just run "make", it will compile just the changes. I'd suggest
running the configure with the --enable-depend option, so it picks up
changes in header files better.

Also take a look at ccache (http://ccache.samba.org/). And if you have
more PCs to spare, you might want to set up distcc.
