[Agda] --jobs?

[Andreas Abel]

I think the first step towards this would be to implement a stand-alone 
import chaser.  Currently new agda files are processed right when the 
scope checker hits an import statement.  A separate phase for import 
resolution, yielding a dependency graph, would allow both simultaneous 
processing of agda files (when --jobs) and progress reports like ghc does.

It would be nice if you could work on this.

Cheers,
Andreas
