Once bootstrapped, this incrementally rebuilds each of the three stages,
one at a time. It does this by ``bubbling'' the stages up from their
subdirectories, rebuilding them, and copying them back to their
subdirectories. This will allow you to, for example, quickly rebuild a
bootstrapped compiler after changing the sources, without having to do a
full bootstrap.

@item quickstrap
