Well, I'd suggest just to hardcode a reasonable value to be a
good net citizen, and not make it configurable.  Four, perhaps?

OTOH, we may want to have an option to disable parallel from the
command line (I think -r 1 would mean that with yours).

If we really want to have the number of parallel configurable,
and -r implies recursive as you say, maybe '-j' to mimic
parallel make?
