+(NB: **Do you have multiple cores? Be sure to tell that to `make`!** This can
+save you hours of build time depending on your system configuration, and is
+almost always a win regardless of how many cores you have. As a simple rule,
+you should have about `N`+1 jobs, where `N` is the amount of cores you have.)

 The `perl boot` step is only necessary if this is a tree checked out
 from git.  For source distributions downloaded from [GHC's web site] [1],
 this step has already been performed.
