Hi Sebastian

> This is only interesting for those of you who use the make-target "many". It is the only target in our build system which uses numCores. If you say "what? I thought the stylecheck-target uses numCores too." ... no it doesn't. For fast stylechecking you can use "make -j8 stylecheck". However, I propose to remove the numCores stuff completely from our build system. The many-target is not in common use and can be seen as developer feature used only by a few of us. As this simply is an alias, do it the Unix-way: add an alias to your shell's config. (btw: this works on mingw too)

I use and like "make many". However, you are right, an alias does the
job as well. So I do have no objections removing the target. Let's see
what others say.

Cheers

Alex
