utilize ts 3.4 build cache to improve startup time

[kelly-tock]

TS 3.4 just came out, and i'm wondering if it is possible to use this to speed things up?

I have set the incremental flag in my tsconfig, but don't see the build info being generated when going through webpack, only through the tsc command.

is it possible to utilize this within the context of this plugin?

It's possible changes may need to be made to accommodate this. We're open to PRs on that front. This may be useful context: TypeStrong/ts-loader#913

@johnnyreilly linked issue seem to be resolved. Any news on this one?

I'm not working on this myself; I'm not sure if anyone else is

@kelly-tock , @Bessonov
Please try fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin@alpha - I've published a new version which supports incremental building 🚀(note that it won't generate .tsbuildinfo file but will consume it if present)
I will close this issue to clean-up the backlog :)
