"cmake --build" is just a front-end for the native build tool CMake
generates input for. If this tool can be invoked via the command line
with options for parallel building, you can provide them after the "--"
in the "cmake --build" command, e.g. "cmake --build <bindir> -- -j 4"
for parallel building with Makefiles.
