Argh!  Sorry!  I didn't realise that was the case already!  Thanks for
the head's up!

from pkgsrc/mk/bulk/bsd.bulk-pkg.mk:

## bulk-package will build binary packages, and remove them (together with
##      any depending packages) immediately after that, leaving only the
##      binary package back. Broken packages are marked (``.broken'').


This is very cool!

Now to get some slower old machines set up with some kind of batch
submission system so I can get them to work doing useful jobs!

Too bad some of those scripts are in Perl though!  ;=)
