+Force files to depend on the timestamps of those located in the build directory. You may
+want to use this to force partial rebuilds, see playground/track_output_files/ for a working example.
+
+Note that there is a variety of ways to implement this, one may want use timestamps on source files too for example,
+or one may want to hash the files in the source directory only under certain conditions (md5_tstamp tool)
+or to hash the file in the build directory with its timestamp
