    OK, but our problem is actually with just building the code. My Mac 
Codewarrior (command line) is building the code every night as part of 
regression testing. Are you saying that there is some #define telling my 
build to skip the MPTasks stuff and do pthreads? Is that something we 
can do in the GUI as well? How would I be able to tell?
    Sorry I'm so clueless.
