I'm going to be unavailable tomorrow; if you would like to revert the patch
in the meantime, you should certainly feel free. It does markedly improve
things in parallel, but if it scrogs things horribly otherwise, that may
not be a tradeoff we want to make.
You could also add dependencies by package, leaving things as they were 
after my change, to ensure that (say) java.lang got built before java.io.
You would just need to make java.io.*.class dependent on java.lang.*.class.
Thanks,
