qmake does NOT support parallel build. qmake is just a makefile
generator. make does, and jom does, but those aren't the only two
targets qmake supports. And in the case of generic external Makefiles,
defaulting to parallel build isn't always a good idea anyway, as there
are the occasional makefiles you'll come across that don't have their
dependency chains set up right.

Then there's the question of HOW MANY parallel processes to run.
#cores? #cores+1? #cores*2? 64 because you're connected to a distcc
farm?

So I agree with Tobias: If you want parallel build, the developer
should choose it. Trying to guess at a default is going to be wrong
far too often.
