Xcode has supported multiple processors for a long time.

Using -j with make is pointless because our Makefile's build target  
only runs one thing, which is xcodebuild. xcodebuild, however, will  
run (number of processors) processes at a time.

You can change the number of processes Xcode will run at a time by  
setting the PBXNumberOfParallelBuildSubtasks default in com.apple.xcode.
