Actually, I think vtkMultiThreader would mostly be ok - if it doesn't match
one of the #define statements then it just doesn't thread - it claims to
have only one processor and executes everything in a single thread. This
would only be a problem if you had more than one processor on your mac
(does such a thing exist?) and wanted to use both (all) of them, or if you
used some of the other features of vtkMultiThreader such as spawning off a
process (I don't think this is used anywhere in the standard vtk)
