I don't think CMake does anything specifically to handle parallel recursive 
builds.  It works with GNU make because when invoked with -jX the top level 
gmake sets some environment variables (it adds -j to MAKEFLAGS, but i think it 
uses some others for job control, too) so sub-makes pick that up in parallel 
builds and CMake doesn't need to explicitly write -j$((X - 1)) in targets 
invoking sub-makes.

How does our make handle parallel job control between recursive invocations?

Best,
Kent
