hah, nice timing I was just about to email you about this.  I fixed it 
yesterday.

The build automatically regenerates and runs each test based on the files you 
modify now -- full depenency chain.

'waf check' will run all tests irrespective of dependency status now.  'waf 
check -v' will dump log info.
