par2 should encorporate IBB speed patches

Since Intel's Threading Building Blocks is in Ubuntu now (see libtbb*), we should really have these speed patches for par2cmdline source, as they give a nearly linear speed increase in par2 operations.

Oh, meant to say this is a wishlist item. I can't seem to tag it as such, though.

Just want to bump this and point out that the given patches now also support doing some work on CUDA supported video cards to make things even faster.

upstream versions >= 0.7.0 add multithreading via openmp. Will be uploaded to debian in time to make in into 17.10.

This bug was fixed in the package par2cmdline - 0.7.2-1
