 * As I was thinking about how to make a list of package sizes I was
 * stumbling about the question of how much locking it will require.

If you need locking, you should probably rethink the design.... ;)

 * Is it legal to make several package concurrently?  I.e. I make crafty
 * and at the same time xboard?

Yes.  Pretty much everything can be built concurrently (and it is
indeed essential to build all 1,500+ packages quickly and without too
much extra disk space).  There are only few exceptions, mostly
different versions of the same software.

Also, if you try to type "make" twice in the same directory, it could
fail.  The same thing can happen due to dependencies, so I generally
build oft-depended ports first to avoid this.
