Does it eventually cancel or not ?

Comment 2 Adam Kiezun

it did - after maybe 30 seconds

We check before calling the compiler and when each file is finished... but if 
the first file is large and requires numerous other files to be parsed and 
processed then its possible for the compiler to not finish with it for quite a 
while.

Philippe: Do we want to have the compiler check for 'cancel'?

We are not going to do anything else with this right now.

Having the compiler check back with a user supplied cancel requestor just opens 
us up to too many potential problems.
