Bug 179958 – Fast binding generation by batching several files at once

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Basuke Suzuki]

Bindings generation spawns sub processes for each idl files, but fork/exec pattern is very slow on Windows. To reduce the process generation, control script can pass several files at once to the process.

Here is a statistics for 796 idl files:

Current imprementation: 386 secs
Batching 10 files:       63 secs
Aggressive approach:     36 secs (rest of files / number of process)

I'm ok with this as long as Sam doesn't object.

Let's not comment out a line.  Also, the second line isn't quite right either.  As it is it strangely gives smaller batches as work progresses.  Let's do something more like $totalCount / $numOfJobs.
