Thanks.  I will try it.  

Without hard coding, how does one propagate to sub-folders?  
I would like to use it also in building PyQt5 and that has about 10 sub-folders 
with Makefiles.

Hi Gordon,

As an alternative, you can use the -GNinja argument which will cause CMake to 
generate a project that uses ninja instead of make. Ninja does some smart 
things by default, like for example using multiple cores in parallel.
Many of the QGIS devs started to appreciate this.
