 From some past posts, the VAX/VMS build was done on one or more clustered 
systems.  We don't know of the requirements for an OS build.

As far as time, who cares.  If it is to be a one time build for a VSI release, 
who is going to care if it takes a month or two?  A one time build is all VSI 
would need to allow many things, such as hobbyist use, and others.

But, I'm guessing it would not be so simple.  None of us knows the requirements 
of the build procedure.
