I've recently updated a few packages that do a serious amount of compilation during test and it became painfully obvious that cygtest does not run make with the "-j" option nor does it currently offer an option to change that.
Given the brittleness of some test suites it might be prudent to keep the default "serial" for a while and in any case not confound it with the option of doing the build in parallel. So the suggestion is to add a variable MAKETESTOPTS following along MAKEOPTS example to be used in cygport files. I would also suggest to add a command-line option "-jt" / "--jobs-test" or some other suitable name plus a configuration option for cygportrc that when set causes cygport to populate MAKETESTOPTS with the same default as MAKEOPTS and otherwise leave it empty (keep the current default of "serial" make). WDYT?
