+? Build slave/distribute build [idea]
+
+We could connect a more powerful machine to, say, a laptop that runs the same
+toolchain and is used to compile preprocessed translation units. We could also
+probably extend this to share a big iron among, say, a group of developers.
+
+Would be good to detect an incompatible toolchain (e.g., by sending and
+comparing compiler checksum).
+
+Wonder if network latency will becomes an issue. Then could connect via
+Thunderbolt 3?
