If you are familiar with the build process, then you *don't* have to run a 'make world' everytime. Someone as familiar with system builds should be able to figure out the effects of changed files, but unfortunately this means you need to baby-sit the SUP update files to determine what changed instead of simplying firing off a make world after every update. I *never* run a make world, and rarely even run a global make, but when things do change I will do the necessary individual steps in a make world to bring my system back into 'make world' status.
