moreover, I think the limit should be based on ncpu() instead of hard
coding it.


I don't know about that. Doesn't PARALLEL_MAKE already default to something
based on ncpu()? My understanding of the limit was that some recipes
(boost? waf?) have a limit on the amount of parallism they can reasonably
stand, and you don't want those recipes to break if someone sets
PARALLEL_MAKE="-j
1000".

As long as that is true I think this is correct. Whether those recipes
still need to limit their parallism is another discussion.
