winking in: In a clever multi-user make system such as Clearcase, the system can track what everyone has built. Instead of rebuilding, it can often copy the needed compiled modules from another user who has already done the compilation based on the same source tree. This copying is called a wink-in. For large projects many parts do not change very frequently. This way each module may only have to be built once.
