Could there be a 'checkr' variant? #1

I have been meaning to parallelize my reverse dependency checks for Rcpp. @cboettig pointed me to drone which seems nice but now this pops up and may be simpler...

Can you recover build logs and summarize, and have clients spawn on different hosts?

I think that once we have r-hub that will be by far the nicest solution. But I need something that builds windows packages for non-windows users right away. And this is built off of some pretty unstable queuing things that I am working on, so it might not be the right choice.

This does recover build logs and allows clients to connect from anywhere (over HTTP). Workers must all be on the same machine, or at least see the same filesystem, for the current implementation.

But mostly I hope not to have to develop this much in favour of using r-hub.

I was thinking queue with clients on the lan.
