1) if the user specifies max-cpus, do we want max-jobs to default to
max-cpus? Because that does make sense afaict.
The buildsystem is a bit strange in this regard ;-)  There are 2 levels
of what is done in parallel - one on the level of directories, and one
on what is done in the directory itself.  Ie. if you did what you
propose, you'd get max-cpus * max-jobs in the 'ideal' situation.
Hmm... I understand what you're saying, but that actually seems not to
be my experience. "cpus=4" would bring my machine (AthlonX3) to a
standstill, while "cpus=3, jobs=3" results in an "always responsive"
system ... Oh well ... I ought to document it at least, and then we'll
see what happens.

We might explain that a bit better in the configure help text. I always
forget which is the exquivalent to "make -j n". Perhaps in the brave gnu
(make) world, we can simplify that to one switch?
 
2) why is the system so keen on ice-cream? Is it because it's a java
technology? I note it's incompatible with distcc (which is what I've
got, and which isn't much use without a pc farm).

I've noticed other people moaning about ice-cream so should we remove
all the "why haven't you got it?" stuff, or just disable it if distcc
is installed?
+1 for quiet down the icecream advertisment a bit, we should rather put
instructions for that in our wiki. If someone configured to use distcc,
we should not output icecream related stuff at all. So who comes up with
a patch :-)?

Looks like it's up to me then :-)

Cheers,
Wol
