Generic change-detection helper used to help build / artifact generation / etc.
Generic change-detection helper used to help build / artifact generation / etc. steps detect whether or not they need to run. Returns a function whose input is a Set of input files, and subsequently executes the action function (which does the actual work: compiles, generates resources, etc.), returning a Set of output files that it generated.
The input file and resulting output file state is cached in cacheBaseDirectory. On each invocation, the state of the input and output files from the previous run is compared against the cache, as is the set of input files. If a change in file state / input files set is detected, the action function is re-executed.
