I think precompiled header makes sense mostly when cl is invoked once.
Like the VStudio project files does. E.g.
  cl -YX -Fo.\release\ *.c

This produces a much larger vc60.pch than by single compiles. So I
assume cl restarts/rebuilds the pch on each invokation.

Not sure nmake has a rule similar to Borland's make:
.c.obj:
  bcc $(CFLAGS) {$*.c }

Would fill the cmdline with files that needs rebuilding.
