How about adding something along
"The included /etc/mock/defaults.cfg describes the new format of options 
and is also a  good example on how to add your own parameters "
to the bundled Readme and/or the man?

The man page was the first thing I've read (unlike my usual habit of 
reading the man pages only as a last resort, when nothing else helps :) 
). But since I am ... hum.. parallel to python, I needed the help of 
ivazquez (thank you, again!) to see the light in
   config_opts['macros']['%_smp_mflags']= '-j3'
Second thought, since testing parallel builds is mandatory for Fedora, I 
think it would be nice to have the above line included by default 
(commented out for compatibility with previous versions) in all repo 
configs.
