Not sure I follow "as a wrapper".

Sure, in SVN if one wishes.

And compilation.  But compilation requires information from the remote
machine.  Those would have to be remote commands too. Perhaps some
batching could be done to reduce overhead.

Yeah.  Have run_iptables batch up the iptables commands for a single
execution of them all over a single ssh session.

It seems (at a very first quick glance) as though all externally
executed commands are run through a "run_*" wrapper.  This would make
such modifications quite easy.  Even one more level of wrappage to have
all run_*() commands optionally runnable remotely in a single function.
