Did you get to the point that that causes a problem, or did you just realize
that it was a limitation that seems to preclude its use ?  If so, could you
send the branch/commit you had ?

The error I'm getting when I try to use ccache involves .rst files, which don't
exist (and which ccache doesn't know how to find or ignore).

I gather this is the difference between "compiling with MSVC" and compiling
with a visual studio project.
