[Freeswitch-users] Build slow, I may have a solution for you.

[Michael Jerris]

With some new commits I just made, the time to build a standard checkout
from scratch is now down to:

real    1m16.348s
user    2m44.714s
sys     1m11.761s

make -j now properly parallelizes the module builds as well.  More to
come.
