When working with multiple source archives, the DiffTools normally processes
them all sequentially and builds a single output files.
In order to speed up processing, multiple configuration files can be written to
allow for calculating revisions using several instances of the DiffTool. e.g.
if we have 15 source archives, we might create 5 configuration files - each
definining 3 archives. We can then process the data with 5 instances of the
tool in parallel.
Output folders have to be adapted in case of multiple instances.
This is, of course, no replacement for REAL distributed processing. The
limiting factor here probably is the RAM.
