"""
Enable precompiled C++ header support (currently only clang++ and g++ are supported)

To use this tool, wscript should look like:

	def options(opt):
		opt.load('pch')
		# This will add `--with-pch` configure option.
		# Unless --with-pch during configure stage specified, the precompiled header support is disabled

	def configure(conf):
		conf.load('pch')
		# this will set conf.env.WITH_PCH if --with-pch is specified and the supported compiler is used
		# Unless conf.env.WITH_PCH is set, the precompiled header support is disabled

	def build(bld):
		bld(features='cxx pch',
			target='precompiled-headers',
			name='precompiled-headers',
			headers='a.h b.h c.h', # headers to pre-compile into `precompiled-headers`

			# Other parameters to compile precompiled headers
			# includes=...,
			# export_includes=...,
			# use=...,
			# ...

			# Exported parameters will be propagated even if precompiled headers are disabled
		)

		bld(
			target='test',
			features='cxx cxxprogram',
			source='a.cpp b.cpp d.cpp main.cpp',
			use='precompiled-headers',
		)

		# or

		bld(
			target='test',
			features='pch cxx cxxprogram',
			source='a.cpp b.cpp d.cpp main.cpp',
			headers='a.h b.h c.h',
		)

Note that precompiled header must have multiple inclusion guards.  If the guards are missing, any benefit of precompiled header will be voided and compilation may fail in some cases.
