      When building webkit, the perl script that manages the build will pass `-j numberOfCPUs()` to cmake.
      Since many modern systems have a relative large number of CPU's compared to the amount of memory, this leads to many parallel processes running c++ compiler jobs. This often results in memory issues when building (and even system freezes).

      We could use NUM_COMPILE_THREADS for this, and pass that value to cmake in case it is set.
