* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
On Linux, and any other systems that provide a /proc/loadavg with similar
syntax, the -l/--load-average option will use the contents of that file to
determine how many jobs are running at any given instant, and compare that
syntax, the -l/--load-average option will consult that file to
determine how many jobs are at any given instant, and compare that
value to the load value requested. This allows usage such as "-j -lN" for
N-processor systems without fear of overload.

* Makefiles can now specify the '-j' option in their MAKEFLAGS variable and
this will cause make to enable that parallelism mode.
* GNU make will now use pthread_spawn() on systems where it is available.
It will select POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK where that is available. If you prefer
to use fork/exec even on systems where pthread_spawn() is present, you can
use the --disable-pthread-spawn option to configure.
Aron Barath <baratharon@caesar.elte.hu> provided the basic implementation.
