Now pushed to core-updates-frozen; I've made some changes to the
build-system one after finding out that --procs meant "adding" cores,
rather than specifying their exact count (and you cannot add 0!).

The parallel build of Julia packages uses a ton of RAM, but it's fast!
:-).

Thanks a lot,

Maxim
