yes, I agree, that would be better - especially from a user perspective.
I'm not much of a makefile expert at all. I did try that approach 
initially, but it seemed like it was going to turn into a rewrite of the 
coccinelle script. If someone can do it via make, I'd say go for it :)  
I won't have much free time for the foreseeable future to tackle it. 
using "make -j" is much more comfortable and intuitive than typing 
PARALLEL= ...
