+Tips
+----
+When building Lisem using Makefiles, the make program will by default use only one CPU core. You can speed up the build by telling make to use multiple cores:
+
+    :::bash
+    make -j
+
+You can also set much used make commandline options in an environment variable called MAKEFLAGS, for example (using bash syntax):
+
+    :::bash
+    export MAKEFLAGS="--quiet -j6"
