 Where is MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER documented?  Not that this
 is the important isssue.  The important issue is that
 the default is a rather stupid choice for any application
 that uses g++.  Given that many laptops have 2 cores
 and limited memory, g++ can easily make the system
 unusable while building the application.  This behavior
 leads to swapping (for systems that actually are
 confgured with a swap partition) and is certainly not
 battery friend.
