A GNU-specific extension of the xargs command allows spawning the
processes in parallel by passing the `-P <N>` option, where `<N>` is the
maximal number of processes to spawn at the same time.

I need this feature to run Git's test suite in an environment where only
BusyBox is available and no development tools such as `make` or `prove`.

Please give this a good look-over, as I want to make sure that this is
correct. It seems to work alright in my tests, yet I would feel more
comfortable if I got at least one other developer to agree that the
feature is implemented correctly.
