Why is this opt-in and not opt-out? We could add a flag to ports that
they should be built with -j1 instead of what was specified in
macports.conf. Is there a reason or some problem I don't know of?
Changes in base should not break existing ports, if at all possible.
Ports may fail with this option enabled. Therefore it's opt-in on a
port-by-port basis.
