We call this for every .cpp, .idl, etc that we do something with.  This adds up to thousands of invocations (all of which fire off a shell) per build.

We can/should probably self-host simplistic echo statements directly in python.
I had a native command echo written, but I stopped because I thought about trying to handle redirection and it was a pain. If we didn't bother trying to handle redirects it's trivial to write. Maybe this could block bug 585010?
