[Releasing] New alpha package available for testing

[marius.storm-olsen at nokia.com]

Huh? 'make -j 8' shouldn't mean -j<infinity>, and if it did, it means that 8 would refer to a make rule, which would fail since it doesn't exist.

Make should munge:
    Make -j<n>
    Make -j <n>
    Make --jobs=<n>

See http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Options-Summary
