[Bf-committers] Drop in multithreading with hoard malloc replacement?

[Campbell J Barton]

Hi, heres a GPL library that claims to allow a program to become 
multithreaded simply by linking to it.

It would be interesting to test it with blender.
Only issue is that it dosent run on MacOSX- but does run on 
linux/win/solaris.
