Default Speedup NEC-Engine, using multiple CPU-Cores

Whatever you do, you should seriously contemplate basing your work on
the NEC4 engine, rather than the older NEC 2 engine. Sure, you'll
have to pay for it, but it's structured better for what you want to
do, and more accurate to boot.


I was recently told that the non-commercial NEC-4 license doesn't
include source code. I haven't confirmed this, but it's something you
should investigate before purchasing an NEC-4 license if you intend to
modify the source code.

You'll also, of course, need a Fortran compiler capable of compiling a
multi-threaded application.
