[opam-devel] Parallel builds

[Markus Mottl]

Many packages seem to use Oasis for building, but I couldn't find any
package specification that calls the build process in a way that
allows for parallel builds.

E.g. I might want to specify this in an OPAM package (i.e. use up to 4 CPUs):

  ["ocaml" "setup.ml" "-build" "-j 4"]

Does anybody have objections to parallel builds?  Any suggestions
concerning their number?  I think it should generally work fine and
give a typical speedup of maybe around 20%.

Regards,
Markus
