 * As I understand it, our make is derived from pmake, which was capable of
 * firing off subprocesses in parallel.  How did we lose this capability?

I don't know where pmake got lost, but the /usr/share/mk/*.mk files
aren't written for pmake, as there are many assumptions about
left-to-right order of dependency tree traversal.  At least I'm sure
about bsd.port.mk.

If we are going to have pmake soon, remind me to fix bsd.port.mk and
bsd.port.subdir.mk.
