# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_AM_JOBSERVER([default_value])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Enables the use of make's jobserver for the purpose of parallel building
#   by passing the -j option to make.
#
#   The option --enable-jobserver is added to configure which can accept a
#   yes, no, or an integer. The integer is the number of separate jobs to
#   allow. If 'yes' is given, then the is assumed to be one more than the
#   number of CPUs (determined through AX_COUNT_CPUS). If the value of no is
#   given, then the jobserver is disabled. The default value is given by the
#   first argument of the macro, or 'yes' if the argument is omitted.
#
#   This macro makes use of AX_AM_MACROS, so you must add the following line
#
#     @INC_AMINCLUDE@
#
#   to your Makefile.am files.
