[Rant] sys.rant and -jN

[Kevin Burge]

Hi Stefan,

I'm workng on an autobuild process, and I want to run rant for each 
"component".  Each component has it's own "root.rant" file.  How would 
you recommend calling this?  I thought about a sys.rant method, since 
you already have sys.ruby.  My ultimate goal is to have the "children" 
rant's not cause the overall build process to fail, but only the one 
that failed, and any of it's dependants.  I.e. if C depends on A and B, 
and if B fails to build, C shouldn't build, but D, E and F that are 
unrelated should still build (all of these components each having their 
own "root.rant").

Along these same lines: would it be difficult to add parallel dependency 
processing like the -jN switch to make?  I'm wanting to use distcc, and 
that partly depends on the make-tool.

Thanks,

Kevin
