Thanks Jim & TNoell, those were helpful responses.
My followup question would be regarding setting the CCACHE_HARDLINK
environment variable. Is anyone using this successfully - as that would
imply that disk space usage is being minimized. I ask since the MAN
page says that set using hard links can: "confuse programs like 'make'
that rely on modification times".
