    Added support for parallel builds · cbb81129
    sven.panne@aedion.de authored
    With this patch, one can define the degree of build parallelism via a 'jobs'
    rpm variable. A comfortable way to use this is having a ~/.rpmmacros file with
    a line like:
    
       %jobs 2
    
    Alternatively, one could use a '--define "jobs 2"' command line flag for
    rpmbuild. On a Core 2 Duo using 2 jobs brings down the time for a full build
    including extralibs from 36m to 27m. If 'jobs' is not defined, a normal
    sequential build is done, following the usual conventions on e.g. openSUSE.
