[vtk-developers] Multithreading with Win32 threads

[David Cole]

I think it's just old and leftover, and nobody has yet found a compelling
need for more than 8 threads on Windows. It should be fine to increase this
number, especially if you actually have a Windows box with more than 8
processors on it.

Feel free to change your build locally to increase that value. Perhaps
somebody here on the VTK developers list is also contemplating more powerful
Window machines these days... Anybody here want to bump this up and commit
the change?
