xjobs runs several jobs in parallel and limits the
number of jobs running at once so that every
processor of the machine is busy, but not
overloaded. A batch of long-running processes
invoked from the shell are normally executed one
after another, no matter how many processors are
available. xjobs allows batching those jobs while
still keeping the machine busy. The interface of
xjobs is similar to that of xargs.

Changes:
This version fixed an abort on unresolvable executable, fixed some memory leaks, and returns with EXIT_FAILURE if at least one job failed.
