GSoC build tool clarification

GSoC build tool clarification

The description of "replaces the likes of autools, cmake" makes sense, but
I'm not sure I understand the more advanced features being described -
specifically "... should ultimately be able to run complex workflows on
multiple servers...". Does that just mean that the build process should be
able to be distributed across systems, or is there more to that implied by
the "complex" part?

By the way, hi everyone!

I think Pjotr (Cc’d) wrote that part, so I’ll let him comment on this.
:-)

(I realized the next section, “Rewrite build daemon in Guile Scheme”,
had lost its title so I readded it:
