The problem with making it an opt out is that there are plenty of
packages that do not support parallel build, and the first rule is Don't

I would definitely make the default to install the UseMaxBuildJobs entry

I am open to switching the gcc4x packages to build using
UseMaxBuildJobs but I have one major complaint about how fink
currently handles this option. It is really unrealistic to expect
the users to create this entry in fink.conf on existing installations.
