On 03-Jul-99 Thor Lancelot Simon spoke unto us all:
# The desire to do this is, actually, *why our make supports multiple
# jobs in the first place*. You see, our make comes from Sprite (or at
# least by way of Sprite, at one point long ago in its history) and on
# Sprite, you just type "make -j foo" and foo jobs are started, then
# silently migrated off to other machines in the cluster as happens to
# best optimize load.
#
# Gosh, it'd be nice if NetBSD could do that. ;-)
Right now by using my clusterit stuff (available in the pkgsystem) you can do
that to some degree by using make -j. Right now it's not smart enough to
handle a network of different speed machines, but I am slowly writing that code.
