	I cannot as OpenSSL makefiles are broken. I have made a bug report to 
openssl devs but today, I don't have any solution. In the next release, 
even you try to build RPL/2 with -j32 (I use -j32 on my 32-CPU sparc's, 
thus I have seen this bug for a long time), OpenSSL makefile shall 
called with -j1. It's only a workaround, but you shall be able to build 
all other tools with -jx, x > 1.

	And ? I have written this language to be efficient in particular in 
parallel computations. See SPAWN (multithreading) and DETACH (multitasking).
