Yes, I'm a very "nice" person. ;)

Basically, it came down to this: if somebody doesn't know what
they're doing, then they would probably rather have the 45-minute
doc build be low-priority (so they can still use mail or browse
the web or whatever), rather than high-priority. I can't think of
any instance where anybody without serious unix knowledge[1] would
*want* a long build to take priority over other things, so I made
the copy&paste command match that.
[1] Sure, somebody running a build-box server for multiple
open-source projects might want the lilypond build to be higher
priority than a complete freebsd build... but that's a pretty
special case, and the persons involved would have sufficient unix
knowledge to remove or modify the nice command.
