1) don't #include <gtkmm.h>, but the specific widget's headers (that
could be quite a lot of files)
2) don't use -O2 for devel builds
3) boost the computer -- SMP does well with g++ and make -j3 ;)

I heard there's a gcc branch supporting pre-built header files, but it
seems to be still far away from a release -- dunno if it'll ever get
there.

Still, compiling C++ source will always be *way* slower than building C
source.  That's a problem we all have to cope with, unfortunately.
