Me.  I've only got one machine, but even if I had a few, I'd trade some
additional (and bounded) upfront compile time for some (unbounded) time
later.

For some reason my SVR3/386 insists my hostname is 6sigma.sco.com.  I
haven't got around to figuring out why, so I hardcoded it to 6sigma for
now.  I guess that's a political or economic reason :-)
