      Currently the idl_scanner in idl_tool is calling a subprocess in single threaded mode which is slow. We should either find a way to inject dependencies at task execution time or bring the implicit dependency scanning in process.

      As a further add-on if we cannot make the idl_scanner faster as is, we should make it ninja generation aware and teach the generator how to create its depsfile
