Improved parallel make support
Looks like this patch has pretty comprehensively broken the MSVC build
system. I'll see what I can recover from the wreckage.
There are also at least three non-Windows buildfarm members failing like
so:

gmake -C src all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/pgbuild/pgbuildfarm/HEAD/pgsql.6736/src'
gmake[1]: *** virtual memory exhausted.  Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pgbuild/pgbuildfarm/HEAD/pgsql.6736/src'
gmake: *** [all-src-recursive] Error 2

I think we may have pushed too far in terms of what actually works
reliably across different make versions.

Yeah, possibly. And now it looks like this has broken the Solaris buildfarm members too.

I'm curious to know how much all this buys us. One reason I haven't enabled parallel make in the buildfarm is that it interleaves the output, which can be a pain. And build speed isn't really the buildfarm's foremost concern anyway. I know waiting for a build can be mildly annoying (ccache can be a big help if you're building repeatedly). But I don't feel we need to squeeze every last pip out of the build system.

cheers
