It would be really cool to be able to just have pkgsrc build multiple
packages at the same time.

Example:

'foo' depends upon 'bar' and 'rab'. Neither of 'bar' or 'rab' depend on
the other.

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/foo; make -j 2
<pkgsrc spawns two build processes, one for bar and one for rab. when
both are done the build of foo continues..>


This way the various packages' broken build systems would not be an
obsticle!


Since the pkgsrc make knows about the dependancies it feels like this
should be possible to implement..
