Considering that Apple will likely be announcing dual quad core
systems in the near future, I wonder if fink should adopt some
policy on packaging that utilizes the extra cores. Specifically
if we should have two changes. One would be a setting in fink.conf
which would either allow fink to use all available cores or
limit it to a single core. The second would be to have those
packages which can be properly build with 'make -j numprocs'
to do so (with numprocs being set by fink to either the number
of cores on the system or to one depending upon the fink.conf
setting). Fink could also have an option to override the setting
in fink.conf for a particular build (ie change the advertised
number of cores for fink to use).
