I tried drake, and it is promising, since its compute tree model is much 
more efficient than the MultiTask model I was using, especially in null 
builds (no creating/joining of thousands of threads).

However, it has a bug that prevents me from deploying it in our project; 
that bug is it sometimes fails to execute tasks during parallel builds. 
I created a simple test case and filed a bug on the drake rubyforge tracker.
