I'm not sure I know how to do it. But that's not the main reason.
I think that adding parallelism might bring additional problems, which
could be hard to debug. For example: make has a limit on the number of
processes; in shell, you probably have to count the number of processes
yourself.

I am somehow afraid that attempts to parallelize might bring problems
with backward compatibility.
Well, on a second thought, you are probably right, paralellism in the
next thing to do. I just don't plan to do it.
