In theory it would at least allow the compile step to be distributed,
the assembly step would still have to be done locally... It'd be better
than nothing, I guess.

It'd also be difficult to know when distribution is being done and that
it's necessary to split the steps. We'd have to add an environment
variable or something and users would need to know they have to set it
when using a distributed compile.
