Well, let's assume that the VAX can be emulated with one percent of
native speed on a modern CPU. I need 4-5 days for a full bulk build
(incl. vmware overhead) on a dual Xeon. With a CS lab or so otherwise
idling around, this should be feasiable :-) If you move the actual
computation out with distcc, you gain quite a bit as well.
