chanting and threading

I would like to eventually start contributing to gegl, so I've been perusing the code online. The code seems pretty clear to me overall, but I have a few questions.

1) What's the purpose of the gegl chanting routines? 2) Will ya'll be implementing multi-threading support with pthreads?

I'm new to programming, so feel free to state what you may consider obvious.

To significantly reduce the amount of boiler plate code that needs to be written, an intersting other option is looking into making it possible to write plug-ins in vala, or even moving to JIT compilation for both SSE2, AltiVec shaders etc using llvm or similar.

2) Will ya'll be implementing multi-threading support with pthreads?

That isn't entirely decided yet, we might even end up doing parallel processing with multiple processes since that brings us closer to be able to do parallelization on multiple hosts as well.
