If building openmx really benefits from "make -j" you might consider putting something clever in spkg-install to detect "available cores" and maybe build using them... > > Well, not now, because I haven't yet updated the g95 problem that > Michael just helped me fix and google code is read only now for > maintenance. :( I think I depend too much on google, when I needed to > send an important email, gmail went down for couple hours and I was > literally stuck and had to use some other webmail. You should use Sage in such cases. Type sage: email? for more details.

This reminds of how Debian is a Linux distribution that dozens (hundreds?) of other custom Linux distributions derive from. Sage could be the same. That would be cool.
