I would definitely use it then. Once Bro goes multi-core I think we 
really don't want to have to deal with two different threading 
libraries. And while I don't know TBB pthreads definitely is very bare-bone.

However, it appears that TBB is GPLv2 with runtime exception (and not 
Lesser GPL). Just wondering whether that's going to be a issue for us....
