Summary: Add multi-processing support to nona

Initial Comment:
With X2 processors begining to see significant
acceptance and with X4 processors likely to start
appearing in systems in mid to late 2006 it seems like
it would be a good time to start looking at adding
support for nona to run multipule threads to take
advantage of the processing power that these new
processors provide.  Seems like a shame to buy an
expensive processor and only have applications use 1/2
or 1/4 of it's power.  Particularly applications like
nona that benifit greatly from more CPU power and, it
seems to me (but I could be wrong), should not be
particularly difficult to multithread.

In fact, I had a chance to try HuginOSX on a G5 Quad last week.
It indeed uses one of the CPU core 100% leaving three quarters of the CPU power 
untouched. 

I also wold like to point out that Dual CPU on Mac and the hyper-threading on 
PC are already common. 

We should give a high priority on this improvement as we are looking at the 
possibility of fastening the stitching 2x or 4x with relatively easy modification.
