Currently pkgtool builds sequentially, parallelization is only at
the make level (i.e. most spec files use make -j$CPUS).  One of the
planned enhancements for pkgtool is parallelizing at the component
(spec file) level.  Akin to "gmake -j", you will be able to specify
the maximum number of components to build in parallel.
