Let's see: we already have an emake script, but using it for "make

a no-go because it uses -jX from make.conf and that's not good.
A solution can be to improve emake wrapper to check if "install"
is in its
commandline, in which case it can automatically add a -j1 to be safe.
What is the problem with using -jX for `make install`?
THink about what happens in most `make install` phases, files get put
in their DESTROOT, and many times permissions are set etc. when its
done in parallel the chances of the makefile trying to operate on non-
existent targets is quite high, and things start to explode.
