Make jwack... mostly... work with GNU make.

But it seems to be pretty unsolvable in the current form; the problem is
that when you're nesting one jwack inside the other and the jobserver is GNU
make, there's no way to tell the parent jwack not to use up a token.  Thus,
if you nest too deeply, it just deadlocks.

So this approach isn't really going to work the way it is.
