It is. I have a setup that mostly works, but when going from a dog-slow
machine to a much faster machine (like a factor of 10 in speed or more)
there are occasional hangs (of the build, not the machines) that require
a Control-C and a restart.

It is still limited by the C preprocessor speed on the slow machine,
but still helps quite a bit (factors of 3 have been measured).

I think I've found a way to work around the hanging problem, but the
code isn't all written yet.
