Maybe really some parallel capability could be added specifically to the
try_compile() command.
Which calls cmMakefile::TryCompile(), which calls
cmGlobalGenerator::TryCompile(), which ends up in cmGlobalGenerator::Build(),
which finally calls
if (!cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand(command, outputPtr,
&retVal, 0, verbose, timeout))
Maybe just this one call could be put into threads somehow ?
