Hi,

I am referring to this thread here, please make sure you read it in case you
have not already:
"parallel fun in src_install - going beyond the serial monotony of 'make
install'"
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/38901/focus=38901

Since nobody has objected there I would like to update the documentation to
reflect this change. I have attached a patch to do this for skel.ebuild and
sent a patch to plasmaroo for the devmanual. Is there any other
documentation that needs updating?
