No, I didn't. Development might have gone on and also my experience with
multithreading might not be big enough to make the best decision (see
the disclaimer :)

Perhaps it might be the solution (I still didn't have a look at it...).
But you should allways consider, that a generic task handling and
scheduler might not be able to give you the power (speed wise and
complexity wise) that an optimal coded sheduler might offer.
In the end it boils down to the so typical:
coding speed
vs. compiling speed
vs. runtime speed
vs. code complexity
vs. cross platform capabilities.
There eigen has gone it's very special path that I think is great for
this "small" libaray. Choosing the right multithreading environment
should consider to follow and extend the current path and not be
distraced by the ease of implementation.
Anyway, it's an open source project, so the person implementing the
stuff is the person to decide :)
