Well, if you feel courageous, you could try adding this to RHIDE, as a
feature, instead.

Bad idea. There's a much preferrable tool for that, already: "make". 

And for a start, you can take your existing project and let RHIDE
create a makefile from it. The resulting Makefile isn't exactly pretty
or even well-written, but it'll get you off the ground.  Inspect it
and read "info make" to understand how it works. Also have a look at
some existing Makefiles from other project, to get a feel for it.

It's a joint effort, actually. GCC can provide information about
dependencies, and RHIDE (or make) can make use of them to avoid
needless recompilations.
