Shouldn't be too hard to implement, but what effect would it have on performance? I don't much like the idea of spawning processes for each command line generated...
Of course, if we could assume the result of identical commands would be the same for every run in a batch job then it could be cached. Generally you can't make that assumption, but for the limited use it would probably be put to in C::B (things like wx-config and the like) it might just be good enough.
If caching is used it might be a good idea to put a warning about it somewhere though, and perhaps even a way to circumvent it.
If it isn't used (by default), perhaps there should be a different syntax to force caching? Something like ${`my-command arg1 arg2`} maybe?

As a matter of fact, it is supported in direct mode under unix platforms because backticks are a shell feature...

Maybe I should have said "when invoking the compiler directly under Windows", but since we're in the Windows forum I assumed that part was given...

Sure, I just wanted to emphasize that this is *not* a 'make' feature, but rather the shell's...
