It builds packages that have been updated between runs (their
version or revision has changed) and also rebuilds all packages
depending on them (to ensure that library dependencies are correct,
etc., etc.).

You can also change it through a variable to test timestamps instead
of package versions.  Or maybe it was the other way around; I don't
remember which one is the default ATM...
