Good choice, Larry.  Especially since there's a perfectly good make
utility which figures out the parallelism all by itself, without
needing any gross things added to cause your makefiles to be
non-portable.  Run out to your nearest GNU dealer, and pick up
version 3.58 or so.  Just think of all the time you'll save over
editing every makefile that comes across the net.  Now, where's
that cough syrup....
