[opensource-dev] Snowstorm Backlog Request: SNOW-766

[Oz Linden (Scott Lawrence)]

Aleric - this seems like a perfectly reasonable improvement to include 
in our general build improvements task for this sprint.

If you would please prepare a public clone of viewer-development in 
which this patch is successfully applied, I'll get it reviewed from 
there and pulled into viewer-development.

Thanks for a very well formulated request.

> When developing many viewers in parallel (and snowstorm with it's many
