I saw an announcement recently of an introduction of a batch file 
execution facility, for controlling jobs over multiple machines.  It 
interested me, so I got it to compile, and I'm playing with it.  If 
anyone else has any interest in such a thing, I've made a set of diffs 
that let it compile.  I'm not going to port this thing until I'm more 
sure it isn't going to kill my machine, or have some other horrible 
effect, but others who know what they're doing might be interested.

The info on this is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~nqs/

Mail me if you want a set of diffs, and the one config file.
I'm including the main man page from it, below ...
