Nice to see multi-thread assembly being added. We should look at adding 
support for the multi-threaded version of SuperLU. What other 
multi-thread solvers are out there?

I haven't looked at the code in great detail, but are element tensors 
being added to the global tensor is a thread-safe fashion? Both PETSc 
and Trilinos are not thread-safe.

Rather than having two assembly classes, would it be worth using OpenMP 
instead? I experimented with OpenMP some time ago, but never added it 
since at the time it required a very recent version of gcc. This 
shouldn't be a problem now.
