Around the middle of August there was some discussion on how to make 'make
world' operate safely in a parallel mode. There were even some patches to
make,  *.mk and Makefiles to support this. I applied these patches to my
system and was very impressed with the performance improvement. Did these
patches ever get roles into the source tree, it would be a shame to loss
them.

Thanks
