	Hello 

	was just wondering if the following situation was possible:
let's say i have a project (ala .exe) that is made up of several objects
(ala .o)
	Thus there could be the case when compilation of one object is not
dependant on compilation of another object.
	
	It is possible then for make to run multiple compilers on SINGLE system
with multi CPU - that is certainly an advantage.

	THE QUESTION is however - is it possible already to have a situation
where multiple computers are connected via some network and each has a
compiler installed. Then make would be celver enough to call those
compilers on different *but connected through network* computers
instructing their compilers to compiel a given obejct, those are later
linked.

	This would enable utilisation of old resources (ie pentium 100 through
to 200 systems) when compiling a single project. Could be considered as
a cheapish alternative to multiCpu set up?!
	
	With best regards - Leon.
