Hm, I think the act of building is governed by the .order file, which this
script doesn't touch.  I'll know for sure soon when I can get a chance to
try it in practice.

(There are some other speedups I'm contemplating, too.  Currently the
pre-build step is traversing every package with bmake at least three times,
and up to as many as six.  Instead, a single target could dump out
everything that the bulk build needs for a single package in one go.  Then
it's just up to tsort, tflat, etc. to sort through the data.)
