  I don't know how chatty you all like your Makefiles to be, but what
about putting `tee' into the output redirection?

25 sub-makes talking at once, sending an aggregate average of
55.8 Kbit/sec down my link for over four hours?  No, thanks.

Now and then I might want to monitor an individual build for a short while,
which I can do with tail -f of the appropriate log file.  And stop with ^C
without perturbing the build.

You might also note that the recommended way to run this make is with nohup;
if for any reason you loose your connection, the build still goes on.
