Open Source Package and Pointers

[JamesR]

Here is the latest open source package for Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB), and related information.


These can also be found on the open source web site. I originally placed them here duringa web server failure. I think it is good to have them here as an alternative even though the server is up.
