How about this:
Introduce a 'computable' file.

A computable file is a function from a specified set of files to a bytestream.

When a computable file is read the stream is computed and cached.

If the specified 'input'-files changes, inotify triggers a deletion of the cache.

A 'buildsystem' is thus only a set of computable files.
