The reason I put in the proposal that all make invocations would be updated,
is because this is easier to script and it would be hard for someone who
doesn't know the package to make the call about which invocations don't
need to use parallel make.

However, this issue is also part of the reason I included a 1 week review 
period,
for each change.  I think it would be reasonable for a maintainer to
reject a change for something like `make html` if they felt it was making
the spec file worse with no benefit.

What if I updated the proposed documentation change to say that
%make_build must be used for 'code building targets', check, and install,
but is optional otherwise?
