Scott,
.... or if you don't need batch but would like some interaction without the
use of any special libraries, you might like to have a little look at what
the MOSIX guys are doing at http://www.mosix.org/ or
http://www.mosix.cs.huji.ac.il/ (I'm not sure but I think their website is
down at the moment). I am currently building a dev box for general use and
spreading compiles across nodes seems a good idea since you see the system
as one big box. Then there is the added bonus you don't need to recompile
any code....!
Regards,
Mark.

What you need is a batch system.
There are 2 free batch systems, SGE and PBS.
Both of them are opensource, but nevertheless, you
can
get 7x24 support if you are willing to pay.
PBS: www.openpbs.com
www.pbspro.com
SGE: www.sun.com/gridware
gridengine.sunsource.net
Also,
SGE has qmake, which can execute several
instances of make on mutliple machines for one single
make job.
Install note:
