Using bb_threads

1. Start program as a single process
2. Use bb_threads_stacksize(b) to set stack size
3. Use bb_threads_mutexcreate(i) to initialize ith lock
4. Use bb_threads_newthread(f, &arg) to create thread running f()
5. Run parallel code, being careful to use bb_threads_lock(n) and bb_threads_unlock(n)
6. Use bb_threads_cleanup(wait(NULL)) to clean-up after each thread
