   A ulimit that low is highly unusual, given the default on Linux has been 1024 fds since 2.6.39. Your PAM/initd might be forcing it lower, but that's more often than not a user _choice_, not an OS default.
   
   We also discuss increasing the ulimit for CouchDB itself in the documentation, both in the Performance section and the Runtime Errors section.
   
   Generally I feel this change is outside the scope of our Makefile to make, since it's altering the shell environment permanently. This kind of setting should be in the user's development environment or CI setup scripting, not in our Makefile.
   
   I'm -0.5 on this PR (meaning I'm against it, but won't block it if someone else feels strongly it should land.)
