Description
From https://code.google.com/p/ndmitchell/issues/detail?id=606
HLint should probably run in parallel by default, because there's no real reason not to.
The HLint Manual recommends running hlint -Nn, setting n manually to the number of processors on the computer.
In modern GHC, n is best omitted. -N with no options automatically uses the number of processors on the computer.
We could improve and simplify the manual at the same time by adhering to this best practice.

Research direction
Start by locating HLint's handling of the -Nn option and the HLint Manual section that recommends setting n manually. The work is done when HLint uses the processor count by default where supported and the manual reflects the simplified -N recommendation.
