I have heard good things about Intel's TBB.  I may take a detailed look at 
it.  I am resisting doing so because:

1.  I already use the BOOST libraries.  It is a pain to require my clients 
to install yet another library.

2.  The BOOST licence is a lot more "free" than the GPL used by TBB.

I am a little surprised by the responses to my post.  I believe I have 
identified a significant gap in the BOOST offerings which could be closed 
with a few lines of code.  Since this is a BOOST developer's newsgroup I did 
not expect members to suggest using other libraries.
