David,
What I am suggesting is not quite making the packages
build as multi-procs by default by rather allow certain
very large packages (like gcc42) do so if the user
consents. Also, I'm not suggesting injecting MAKEFLAGS
into the user environment. What I was suggesting that
the user have veto power over whether fink packages
could build as multi-procs as well as some ability
to tune the number of processors on a machine fink
had access to (ie limit).
