If I do generate databases, it will have to be unconditionally, which seems like an awful waste of time even if nothing has changed. Generating databases takes around a minute.

Have your database generator do the check itself by inserting some version marker for the databases, or whatever? If the databases exist and are compatible, just touch them instead of regenerating them. Ugly, but should work. Bart Massey bart@cs.pdx.edu
