No mention of SMP or multi-threaded support, so I must assume this version is
still single-threaded only.  Christophe's stated position has long been that not
enough users have SMP machines for this to be a priority for him, but every
Pentium with HyperThreading needs a multi-threaded engine to take advantage of
this feature, and of course the new dual cores coming out next year will need
SMP support also.  I hope he reconsiders at some point.
