Hmm is this _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN widely available ?
Or is this yet another linuxism ?
... ok it seems to be also available on some BSD at least.
I can easily add it to Haiku though, and I wouldn't even bother adding 
BeOS-specific code just for that, unless it goes to the *thread.c 
files.
And that likely won't work on win32 or OS2... so it might actually go 
there.
