Currently, franchise supports building in parallel with a -j flag, but
the code could definitely be optimized (in my experience, running with
something like -j3 on my dual core reduces compile times with
franchise on arbitrary projects about 20% currently.) During the 2008
SOC, there was also work on adding this support to cabal, which
eventually ended up as the hbuild project.
