Regarding the -j option, I seem to remember someone telling me that
option was only for make buildworld/installworld and not the modules
or anything else. Anyone care to confirm and/or explain why? I see the
following in the man page:
The options are as follows:
<snip>
     -B      Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single
shell per
             command and by executing the commands to make the sources
of a
             dependency line in sequence.  This is turned on by
default unless
             -j is used.

	-j max_jobs
             Specify the maximum number of jobs that make may have
running at
             any one time.  Turns compatibility mode off, unless the B
flag is
             also specified.
