Lots of dissent on this one

Anyhow.. what you speak of is partially already there.

Using distcc and ccache you can spread out compiling amongst PC's and
share pre-compiled binaries. I would NOT recommend doing this across the
net. On an internal network with similar architectures it is a time saver.

As far as pre-fetching and compiling, just use a bash script... that's
what I do... I've got my work PC setup to sync and fetch all the updates
each night. I get an e-mail telling me what's needed and I can compile at
my convenience.

Hope this helps...

This was supposed to be a follow up in response to "What would really be
cool is"

Srry...
