Jom

Introduction to jom

jom is a clone of nmake to support the execution of multiple independent commands in parallel. It basically adds the -j command line switch similar to GNU make. The original blog post can still be found "here":http://blog.qt.io/blog/2009/03/27/speeding-up-visual-c-qt-builds/.
