[issue5309] distutils doesn't parallelize extension module compilation

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis added the comment:

- Is support for infinite jobs planned?
  (GNU make supports it for -j without number argument.)

- self.parallel = int(self.parallel) would raise ValueError when a non-number is passed. I suggest to print user-friendly error message.
