As nmake cannot perform parallel builds on its own, it would be nice, if
CMake could use the possibility of the cl compiler itself to compile
multiple files in parallel.
Qt's qmake does this by creating a temporary file containing a single cl
invocation with multiple names of source files to be built. Wouldn't it
be possible for the NMake generator to
perform something similar?

Martin
