I have a preliminar patch to add support for precompiled headers (under
MSVC) to the sip build engine. I attached it to this mail, but I never
cleaned it up nor submitted for inclusion. I think it might help for PyKDE,
since the compilation times I measured with PyQt were pretty similar to
those obtained with the single-file build, but memory usage was much lower.
You'll have to rewrite this for GCC, but it could be a starting point if you
are interested.
