Here's a small Makefile section I've been using. It basically strips the
header (containing the date and time) from all files and diffs them
against the old version, thus recompiling only modified ones.

sip:
  @if test ! -d SIP ; then mkdir SIP 2>/dev/null ; fi
  @echo "running SIP..."
  @$(SIP) $(SIP_OPTS) BALL.sip
  @echo "removing SIP headers..."
  @-rm -f SIP/tmp 2>/dev/null
  @for i in SIP/*; do mv $$i SIP/tmp ; cat SIP/tmp |sed 3d > $$i ; rm -rf SIP/tmp 2>/dev/null ; done
  @echo "updating modified files..."
  @for i in SIP/*; do if cmp -s $$i `basename $$i`; then true ; else echo " - $$i"; cp $$i . ; fi ; done

Didn't improve my overall sanity, but you might find it useful anyway...

Cheers,
