It can take several days for a build run to complete on pointyhat.
There are only N processors to farm the work out to, and 12K ports
to build, some of which (OpenOffice, some of the scientific ones)
are immense.  The current algorithm is naive: it just builds
everything in the Ports Collection.

For the build farm machines that run -current, add whatever time
-current is broken (including the build chain) to that "several
days" figure :-)
