In any case, the summary is out of date for a future feature that wouldn't use
make.  

I'm just leaving this bug open for notes of discussion on what could be done 
to
make this part parallel, and something we can direct people to if they ask 
about
it.  It's not a priority item.

Note that triggers aren't really needed for pass three, and that the 
downloading
parallelizing may be much simpler than casting itself.

If we had some way to setup download priorities (say, using a tool other than
wget, or a wrapper that can have its bandwidth use modified in-flight), we can
allocate all bandwidth to the immediately necessary sources and only 
parallelize
further downstream when it's less likely to create priority problems.

Another thing to consider is only parallelizing source downloads intra-spell
since the spell needs them all at the beginning anyways.  Downloading a 
thirteen
file source like openoffice would go faster if it can parallelize them, 
although
not much faster.  That's a bad example, but there may be others where it
actually pays off.  This though is the lowest hanging fruit.
