Quickie: Faster compilation with cmake

It happens again and again that developers complain about cmake being too slow when compiling after a quick change. The solution is to use
  • make $target/fast
  • make install/fast
This way, cmake skips the dependency checking. As example, whenever I change code in kdelibs/kate, I type make katepart/fast and make install/fast.
