Why can't the bulk package build be distrubuted out?  My IIci is not 
doing much other than defending my LAN and serving all the Interent 
traffic to my G4 (and occasionally with my other Macs).  Let us with 
idle process time help out.  I have already built some packages for 
this box, why should this effort be duplicated?
