[Dev-C++] Dev-C++ experience

My DevC++ always compiles every source file if I press ctrl-F9.
So it doesn't check if a module is already up to date, but rather
passes a list of all source files to GCC.

This is very annoying, especially for large projects.
Is this a bug or a feature?

To the developers:
Why not call GCC separately for every source file?
This way you could maintain the currently compiled file
in the display window. Also what about a CTRL-C
abort option?

I work around this by using a generic makefile which just compiles all
the source files in the same directory. (Additionally, this makefile
checks for dependencies between #included files and so always does the
right thing)
