One can start conda-build in a folder, and it will try to find all recipes + outputs to build up a dependency tree. We should have that in boa as...

translator from new-style to old-style recipe

this would be useful for backward compatibility with conda-build some work being done on an universal recipe reader is here: https://github.com/marcelotrevisani/souschef

Implement parallel building

Currently, activation scripts have to be written per-shell. This is quite fragile and difficult, as shells have some slightly different semantics, and one is seldomly an expert on many shells....

recipes as tests, test-mode
