c8d3882cdc * True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch).  This is
  useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds
  on multiple machines.  The idea is that a large derivation is
  initiated on one master machine, which then distributes
  sub-derivations to any number of slave machines.  This should not
  happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable
  of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs.  We now have the
  infrastructure to support this.

  TODO: substitutes are currently broken.

a9858c9f26 * A test to verify that Nix executes build jobs in parallel, if
possible.

  This test fails right now because this hasn't been implemented right
  now.  Yes, I'm doing Test-Driven Development! ;-)

f044ccf702 * 1000th revision!
* A test to verify that locking of output paths (caused by concurrent
  invocations of Nix) works correctly.

environment variables.
* Started adding some automatic tests.
* Do a `make check' when building RPMs.
