Description

Most of the developers of RetDec use Linux or macOS, which handle incremental builds pretty well. However, there have been reports of incremental builds taking a long time on Windows with Visual Studio. We should investigate that.

In the meantime, if you are reading this and have experience with incremental builds of RetDec on Windows with Visual Studio, could you please share your experience with us? It could give us a hint if this is actually an issue.
