To write a new make? Do you really think that would be so easily done?
what kind of language will you be using? perl?????
As I stated before the right ordering and the guarantied not mixed OUTPUT
is the biggest concern when it comes to parallelisation. Also knowing when
and what was executed might help when having problems with this parallel
stuff.

might be that for a 5-minute one it's a very good draft, for giving things
a first try even too, but for a distro some more points have to met.
I'd say getting back to making a more detailed draft, that meets the
OUTPUT problem is good idea to start with.
