Even if I don't know any Tcl (yet) I also think it's the best way as it's
already used by macports.

If it would be possible to directly integrate it into the macports base, so
that every client can just run a buildfarm then it would be perfect. But even
a second application is fine.

The server could be implemented in PHP and distribute the builds to the
clients. So nobody does work multiple times. With this it would also possible
for everyone to help the macports project with just donating some of his/her
cpu cycles to build/test some applications.

What do you think?
