Thanks, glad to see that this was added! :)

This looks like a feature that was added in 3.5.  Rather than passing the
flag to setup.py from the Makefile (where I had been looking for it),
setup.py looks at the MAKEFLAGS environment variable and turns on
distutils.common.build_ext's parallel flag if "-j" is found in that. By
default it will then do a parallel build using os.cpu_count() number of
tasks.
