Nikolay: I don't understand your comment "[.NO_PARALLEL] is already supported
in GNU make (though it has a different syntax)".  I'm not aware of anything
similar to this available in GNU make today.  If you mean the .NOTPARALLEL
special target, that simply disables all parallelism for any instance of make
that parses the target.  It doesn't apply only to the prerequisite targets; in
fact it ignores them.

Or, you might mean order-only prerequisites.  You _can_ implement something
like this with OO prerequisites, but it's very convoluted because you have to
be sure every prerequisite also is defined to have the OO prereq, and so on.
