[maemo-developers] policy: "B.3 Parallel option" needs updating

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Hi,

(I've not mastered the art of quoting properly so please excuse me)

Thanks, I've added a note to the wiki page.

And, to anyone reading, please don't use my example in the second e-mail. I
had the experience of killing the autobuilder and X-Fade's tar and feathers.
:)

Best Regards,
Faheem
