Change the make -j value in 1.8 install

Asked by Mark Filipiak

In the 1.8 install (using Installer.py), the -j option to make is set to the number of cores (+1 I think) on the build computer. How do I tell the build/install to use a different number of make jobs?

This options can be changed by adding

makeargs='-j<n>'

in the rcfile used for the build, with of course your preferred number in place of <n>
See the file rcfiles/summer.rc for an example.
