[PPL-devel] Use of PPL in multithreade programs?

[giuseppe lipari]

Dear Roberto,

Yes, I think it would be nice and important to make the PPL thread safe. 
I and my student Youcheng Sun are willing to give an help.
In the next days we have a deadline for a paper, however I am going to 
put it in my todo list as well!

Thank you very much for the hard work you put in the library.
