  Yes ;-)
  And (IMHO) it is a good idea have parallel make working.
  
And indeed plain make as well as make check works.  Parallel make does
not work in the tune directory, which I don't regard as a problem.

And I've never heard of parallel make install.  If people actually use
that, we should try to fix it.
