Subject:   Project idea:  Put PVM in /usr/bin/make
Message-ID:  <14178.1011612724@critter.freebsd.dk>

/usr/bin/make already have hooks for remote execution of jobs when
running parallel.  All that is missing before we can do distributed
parallel make worlds is that somebody writes the necessary hooks
based on PVM...

This is a really simple task, and the best of it all is that one
does not need a cluster of machines to test it:  Using jail(8) you
can run a PVM cluster of any size on one machine.

Any takers ?
