Forgot to mention one thing. I have some CMake code that will add support
for this. It's a simple feature that adds a cache variable only if you are
using generator that utilizes MSVC9. This cache variable is an integral
value and starts off with a default of 1, which translates to /MP1. If you
have an 8 core machine, you can set it to 8 and it will use /MP8. I'd be
willing to provide this implementation to the boost community if you guys
would like to have it.
Sincerely,
Robert Dailey
