[Scons-users] compiling external projects and jobs

[Manuel]

I know how to pass the amount of jobs to it, but then the Command builder
will consume N jobs instead of one and SCons will think it still has N-1
available starving the CPU. Maybe it's not possible and I need a Makefile
parser somehow and create generators and targets with it.

Thanks,

Manuel
