Thread safety #3

This looks like it's going to be tricky. I think OS X and Linux support pthreads, but Windows is a different beast.

I think we should keep this platform specific logic outside of the individual puzzle implementations, and instead give Puzzles a thread safe initialize method for initing pruning tables and whatnot.

Or for now we could require that Puzzles do all their initialization at library load time.

Nevermind, C++ to the rescue! See http://stackoverflow.com/a/2561535 and http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/mutex/
