you can check the %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% environment variable. For unices
that don't have /proc there may not be a single simple way to check.

It won't "fail", it just wouldn't enable reasonable concurrency by default.
But auto-enabling concurrency is out of question now anyway.

While the patch looks big,  most of it is caused by indentation, because
some code was converted to a callback.

Sure,  I tried to unfuck the open_basedir tests, but failed once.

Ps: Have to look at PFTT yet.
