Sorry, it seems I should have been more verbose.  As you can see below, I 
don't want these particular build in parallel, their order is fixed:

And from this point:

It's the ooo-apps-writer, ooo-apps-calc, ... ooo-l10n that could be built in 
parallel and on different machines.

Why don't I want to merge the 'fixed order' ones into one module?  Simply 
'divide et impera' ;-)  They contain stuff that belongs more or less 
logically together.  Eg. I believe we can shrink ooo-libs-core by just making 
some things better, but it's hard to start when one is overwhelmed by the 
amount of modules.

Regards,
Jan
