Compiler missing up-to-date checking?

It occurs to me that cobra appears to compile files every time you run cobra rather than only when they have changed. Any chance you could add this to some point on your (no doubt) incredibly long todo list? Given it's not the fastest compiler ever, it would make a meaningful time difference if this were fixed.
I don't know how other languages do this, whether they simply look at the time stamp or whether they embed some md5sum of the source into the generated file - I suspect the former (which may well lead to issues when running across network shares)
