Normally kdesvn-build will perform the updates at first, one module at a time, 
and then after that is all done it will start with the builds, again with the 
modules in order.

I think it was 1.6 was the release where I added it, but basically kdesvn-
build will, as soon as a module has had its sources updated, will 
automatically start building the module at the same time, while all the rest 
of the modules continue to update.

Because Perl sucks I had to do it using inter-process communication instead of 
threading.  And because Perl IPC sucks I had to do that IPC using anonymous 
pipes instead of shared memory or something not retarded.  But it does seem to 
work.

One side effect is that kdesvn-build now says "Waiting for source code update" 
instead of "Updating source" or whatever it used to say.  It also doesn't have 
a failed to update list (instead it goes into failed to build).  I should 
probably fix that latter point someday, I consider it a bug.
