Hello Simon,

whether it was incorporated in GHC or not. the idea is that GHC should be extended to be able to write out dependencies list built in the --make mode. Then rather simple scripts may be used to distribute the work among many cores/boxes
This is one reason I wrote the 'setup makefile' patch for Cabal[1] recently. With that patch you can get parallel compilation on a multiprocessor using 'make -j' when using Cabal. (I know that not everyone has make, it isn't intended to be a portable solution - the ultimate goal is to use Cabal in GHC's build system, where you need make anyway).
thanks! afaiu, this system don't needs that GHC can print dependency list it's built - dependencies are found by make itself?
dependencies are generated by 'ghc -M'. Cheers, Simon
