Well, from my experience, MSYS "make -jN" works pretty well on my laptop. I
am asking about mingw32-make (not MSYS-hosted) make, because this one lacks
some POSIX thread/process (load) emulation stuff in its internals.

I once ran "mingw32-make -j" to build Qt. As far as I could tell, it worked
until I ran out of memory and the whole thing crashed, but no bad files were
produced in the process :) So "some part of -jN" must work...
