<p>Erlang/OTP can now be built using parallel make if you
limit the number of jobs, for instance using '<c>make
-j6</c>' or '<c>make -j10</c>'. '<c>make -j</c>' does not
work at the moment because of some missing
dependencies.</p>

The documentation for GS is updated with the warning that
it should not be used in new applications. GS is planned
to be deprecated soon and might be removed from the
distribution already in the next major release (R15). For
graphical applications we recommend the use of WX
instead.</p>
