Our case is similar to what Jeff and Joseph already described. I wrote
a script that splits the testsuite directories in equal-sized chunks
and ships them off to different machines. Each machine generates its
site.exp file, and executes runtest with the list of files.

This has exposed a few problems with the testsuite. There are implied
dependencies that some directories have on others (e.g., using other
directories header files) and the multi-files tests are not explicit
about it. So, you may end up sending files needed in the same test to
different machines.
