Hi!

Perhaps we should use a different name for the script (the one-liner)
like emake (since all other portage-programs seems to be named
efoobar) so that there is no confusion in the future?.

If it was non-parallel building that AJ Lewis wanted just set
MAKEOPTS="" in /etc/make.conf.

Mikael Hallendal
