[CMake] Passing -j (or other make flags) to make?

[Michael Jackson]

CMake just generates the Makefiles. It does _not_ actually call make.  
That is up to you to do or some build script. If you are using a build  
script to actually fire off the build process then inside that script  
would be the appropriate place to add the -j flags.
