I've created a simple build system for making multiple OpenSCAD models in
parallel. I hope this is helpful to some of you also.

Pre-built binaries for Windows and Linux are included. OSX should work also.
Very limited testing so far but no know issues.

It made batch builds of  http://pelablocks.org http://pelablocks.org
drop from 6 hours to 1 hour vs a previous shell script I was using. Enjoy!

Cool, I will definitely give this a try.  I have some scripts that run for
several hours generating hundreds of stl files, would be nice to drop that
time to an hour or so.

There was some lively discussion on Reddit including alternative ways to
parallelize OpenSCAD builds in shell scripts.

I just write make files and use Gnu make, often with -j whatever.
