With pmake? Not needed, it checks its configuration file and farms
jobs out to all available machines on the network. We're still building
ours in SLC, when it's fully staffed we'll have a 2-cpu E250 and 18
Ultra 5s. All 18 of the Ultra 5s will be using IDE disks and running
5 pmake jobs per machine; the E250 runs 16 pmake jobs.
