At the moment, I'm running two clients for xorg, so I've got 6.8 and
HEAD. With those and kaffe on one machine I'm hitting some swap, but
the build times still aren't that bad.
Yeah, it's easy to set branches for clients. To those who'd like to do
6.8, just start running a client with a suffix like -6_8, and email me
or ping me on irc and I'll fix it up.
