<td>
* find a suitable replacement for fork()
** using windows threads. Need to use #ifdef directives to switch between unix fork and threads. But perhaps where is a better way to do this.
** Perhaps talk to Martian Pool to see if he has any ideas? He hasn't been in the mailing list for a while.

<tr>
<td>
* Send .pdb files to allow debug builds. Currently blocking mozilla from ever using distcc.
** looking at the protocol. Hopefully we don't have to changed a lot.

<td>Find more applications that use the Makefile system and can use CL</td>
<td style="background-color: #ff671e; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Medium</td>
<td>Difficult to find. Not many open source applications use Makefile and MSVC, many choosing to opt for NMake</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Compile NSPR using distcc</td>
<td style="background-color: #ff671e; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Medium</td>
<td>Dave suggested only building NSPR because its smaller and won't take as long to compile. Cesar is responsible for this</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>boy there sure are lot of memory leaks... would be nice to fix that</td>
<td style="background-color: yellow; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Low</td>
<td>We can use tools like valgrind and mtrace to help. Or we can use Boehm-GC to free the memory automatically. But this is a lot of work for such low priority.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Make sure that there are no orphan distcc processes left after make maintainer-check</td>
<td style="background-color: yellow; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Low</td>
<td>This is a problem when tests are killed, and can leave to false-negatives when you try to rerun the tests again. But that can be fixed with god ol' kill-y mc. kill, agent 009</td>
