We have several machines with a fairly similar NFS configuration.  I
want to use their cycles to compile.  SunOS has the (error-prone)
``on'' command allowing you to execute a command ``on'' another host.

I'm looking for something similar for Ultrix, but which assumes you
have the same file system layout, or at least close enough. Ideally,
it would load balance a little, and only use idle machines. I would
prefer that this be something simple I could interface with e.g,
Gnumake, since I tend to use GNUmakefiles.
