	I'm still playing with it, buts its the only place I've found
so far that makes a difference, at least as far as -j3 was concerned..

	Having just thought about it, though...you *can* specify
-j3 inside of /etc/make.conf as well, but putting in a line of
'MAKEFLAGS=	-j3', so I'm going to add (commented out) that to 
/etc/make.conf and document that as well...
