Well, a search for "thread" didn't return much.

I was toying with the idea to parallelize Autogen but I couldn't find a proper 
solution that uses the existing target/custom_command primitives.
So why not doing it all in the FOO_autogen target itself, which is a black box 
to the user anyway. Thread pools are an option here. But as mentioned in an 
other post, that would required several of CMake's utility functions to be 
thread safe as well...
