Add automatic incremental compilation

See original GitHub issue

[@quintesse] Between the source map and some smartness, we should be able to determine that when we want to compile a module with a special --incremental flag we:

only need to compile source files which are newer than their target classes
and their transitive dependencies
and automatically detect the list of those files

That could be seen as the job of the build tool, but I don’t think anyone can do this sort of detection better than the compiler itself.
