Description
So, given that SMP is getting bigger, and we've actually now had two offers to do tinderbox hosting on 8-way boxes, it would be sweet if jhbuild could parallelize, and launch builds for multiple modules at once. i.e., there are several modules that formally depend only on gtk (including the beast known as mozilla); it would be nice if they would all (or up to -j # of them) would launch their builds when gtk finishes building. Ditto for all of gtk's deps that don't formally have gtk deps, etc.
[Am I making sense?]
