#3022: Provide a MatrixBuilderFactory

------------------------+-----------------------
 Lots of people make the mistake to believe that the {{{slaveNames}}}
 parameter of a Builder is to allow all the slaves to perform the build in
 parallel. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and this parameter is meant
 as a Load-balancing parameter, to allow another slave to perform the build
 would the one already be busy.

 We should provide a builder factory class where the slaveNames parameter
 actually perform what people expects from the slaveNames parameter of a
 Builder.

 What do you think of the idea ?

 Can we first settle on an agreement for the interface of such a class ?
