I don't think we want this in the top-level directory.. . One thing that might be cool though is to default the the build to use multi-threading instead of needing to supply the environment variable. That saves many/most of the characters that I at least find hard to remember :)

To elaborate on this statement:

I don't think we want this in the top-level directory.

Different people have different tools and preferences for shortcuts / saving key strokes. Makefile is nice but nonstandard for building python packages. I encourage you to setup your situation in a way that works for you. For me bash history works really well :)

To be honest, I am not sure where to put the file if we want it. Maybe you are right, I can setup for my dev environment.
