Maybe that's why some people (Insomniac anyone?) break up their code into many many very small libraries. I wonder if we should try that too... I guess breaking up our engine into 20 or so modules, each compiling to their own library (or DLL) not only would give us much shorter build times, but also would force us into designing better and cleaner interfaces (instead of just using whatever we want from wherever we want whenever we want and from wherever we want!)
That should be a good idea. Although coding will get harder in that case since we would need to think twice before calling any other part of the code, but I'm sure that will be very well worth it in the long run, it will even help in maintenance. Thats how some major engines are architected too. Oh.. upgrading the old Shuriken would be another option :)

You bet!
