If I remember correctly, then Steve (Passe) said, these patches were
working good on his system, as well.

But he didn't want to commit them without more testing, because he
didn't want to break "make", that was patched as well.

I'd appreciate as well, that these diffs go into -current, since
it already worked for many people and didn't break anything so far.

BTW:
- would it be possible to control the -j parameter via /etc/make.conf ?!
- did someone test, if "make release" also works using these patches ?
