Waiting for dependancies is something you want to do, if you want your
builds to succeed.

There is no complexity with the dependency tree. Just generate a
Makefile and let make(1) do the job scheduling. Patch for this has been
posted to the list multiple times. I have also used it to schedule
builds over multiple machines using pkgsrc/devel/clusterit.
