Make the library thread-safe #15

It would be nice if we could have the ability to solve independent equation systems using multiple threads (note this is not about parallelizing the algorithms themselves!). We're currently using some static member variables, etc. which is not safe with multiple threads.

I know that this has pretty low priority ATM, but it's still something that would be nice to have.

Apparently Boost provides thread_specific_ptr [1], which should help with making it possible to solve separate equation systems from multiple threads.
