As Jacques said, "make".

At the top of your directory structure you can have a makefile, and it 
just contains a list of all your targets, and the files they depend on. 
Okay, every time you add a new include, you need to update it, but...

Then when you change something, you just go to your top directory, type 
"make", and watch everything affected by your recent changes recompile.

The really nice thing about it, is it will handle recursive includes by 
itself. Can't remember the syntax, but if an include file pulls in other 
includes, you can define that include file as a target, which then flags 
any other that targets that use it. So each target in your makefile only 
needs to include the includes that it depends *directly* upon.
