Building packages at scale

[Jonathan Perkin <jperkin%joyent.com@localhost>]

Various people have asked me for more details on our bulk build setup,
now that it is able to perform a full pkgsrc bulk build from scratch
(14,000+ packages) in 4.5 hours.

I've written a post which details some of these bits and the recent
performance work I've been doing, it's here:

I'm happy to answer any questions if you want me to go into more
detail about any aspects of our setup.
