std.parallelism equivalents for posix fork and multi-machine processing

[Laeeth Isharc via Digitalmars-d]

Is there value to having equivalents to the std.parallelism 
approach that works with processes rather than threads, and makes 
it easy to manage tasks over multiple machines?

I took a look at std.parallelism and it's beyond what I can do 
for now.  But it seems like this might be a useful project, and 
not one of unmanageable difficulty...
