Comment(by leif):

 W.r.t. `README.txt`:

 I'd quote `make` (`'make'`), and directly refer to the GNU make (online)
 manual, i.e., its ''Options summary'' section (which IMHO explains `-j`
 and `-l` etc. quite good):

  [http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Options-Summary]

 `s/`''so for example if you set''`/`''so for example if you do''`/` (or
 ''... type'')

 Perhaps also add that it's usually ok (or advantageous) to use more jobs
 than the machine has CPU cores (minus already running processes, or the
 current system load), especially if disk access isn't very fast [provided
 the machine isn't low of available memory or actually RAM].
