No, it's not clever enough. And currently each illumos-gate rebuild 
publishes packages even if nothing has changed. So yes, it can be a 
problem. I have a patch to make illumos-gate component more sane. But 
I'd like to commit simultaneously with switching /usr/perl5/bin/perl to 
perl 5.16.

I think we can rebuild it every night if there are updates to illumos-gate.
