Subject: * build-remote.pl: Pick machines in a round-robin order, rather than 
  giving jobs to the first machine until it hits its job limit, then   the
 second machine and so on.  This should improve utilisation of   the Hydra
 build farm a lot.  Also take an optional speed factor   into account to cause
 fast machines to be preferred over slower   machines with a similar load.
