If you know how to detect the number of processors/cores/hardware
threads on a platform for which hardware_concurrency() currently
returns the wrong number (likely 0), let me know and I'll update the
code.

It currently works for Windows, Linux, HPUX, MacOS, FreeBSD, and any
POSIX OS that supports _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN with sysconf.
