Log Message:
Remove most of the code seemed to be there to support 'remote jobs'.
It isn't clear that it ever worked, if it did it has almost certainly
bitrotted in the last 12 years.  I'm not even sure all the required
components were present.
I suspect it was written to attempt to use a 'farm' of diskless sun3s.
In any case the apparant random assignment fo jobs to other systems doesn't
actually seem like a good idea!
Things like 'distcc' han be used to help slow systems run native builds.
Removing this code also simplifies make, and should let me speed up some of
its processing - without worrying about bitrotting it further.
