	DANGER WILL Robinson DANGER!

	I worked for a company back in '94, specifically Aggregate Computing,
	that had patents related to this sort of thing, specifically for
	the "NetMake" product and a generic cluster toolkit "NetSHARE"(?).

	Aggregate went to the great bitbucket in the sky in '96 I believe
	but someone did buy the patent portfolio...

	So, watch out for submarine attacks when doing this work, especially
	as it relates to network/cluster distributed makes.

p.s.
	NetMake(tm) on the SPARCs, gutless SLC's, SIGNIFICANTLY sped up builds
	of large packages so the concept has ALOT of merit!
