Announce: parallel - build and execute command lines from standard input in parallel

[Ole Tange]

I have made a tool called parallel. It combines the best from xargs,
find -exec, and cat|sh with the ability to run a number of commands in
parallel.

Parallel can - just like xargs - be used on its own, but is too small
to qualify for its own package. I would therefore like to see it
adopted by findutils at some point.

But first you should point your browser to:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/parallel/

and to:

http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/gitweb/?p=parallel.git;a=snapshot;h=67f2a6dfaa3c343044c7f420a9e414935016e6d8
