It does not affect the results...package *must* build the same
regardless of how many cores user allocates to fink. So there's no
*requirement* that parallel be done at all, so there's no need to
require a fink that supports that optional feature. The time we need a
BDep on a recent fink is if only a recent fink can handle a .info entry
at all *and fails without it* or else builds differently/incorrectly.
