A problem is when the second package need the first package or when the
second packagen eed a package which need the first package. emerge don't
know about other processes running. So it don't see if i compile qt-x11
(which need xfree) on the first console and on the second console compile
gtk (which also need xfree) when qt-x11 is compiling xfree and gtk detects
that it need xfree it will delete the source-tree and update it. So the
first console (and qt-x11) will fail.

This could be a nice feature for next release's

Sebastian

Portage doesn't support this yet, but as long as the packages don't have any
of the same dependencies, it should work.  Otherwise, they will wipe out each
other's compile directories.
