FreeBSD dragon.dg 7.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Sun Feb  1 20:27:42 SAST 2009     root@dragon.dg:/tmp/tmp/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
Currently if a port needs to pass custom flags to implement concurrency it has to do ${_MAKE_JOBS:C/-j//}.  This results in a port needing knowledge and use of bsd.*.mk internals.
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
The patch changes MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER from a user definable to a user tweakable (thus it is always available when MAKE_JOBS_SAFE is defined) and exposes a way for ports to get the number of concurrent builds requested.  

It *should* have no functional change for existing ports (`find /usr/ports -name Makefile | xargs grep MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER` reveals nothing and _MAKE_JOBS expands to the same value).
