So the upstream's reaction to the pull request is that they're not 
against this, but they want the multiprocessing to be done with openmp 
(and not nss/nspr), given that they now actually support openssl as an 
alternative to nss, and don't want any hard dependencies on netscape 
stuff. I'll spend some time studying that.
