I've used prelude.ml to parallelize my system, and it works fine on  
Mac OSX.  Ilmari has graciously worked with me to add versions of pmap  
called pmap_init to initialize per-process file descriptors, and  
pmap_initWithIndex to let the pieces know their IDs -- hopefully they  
will be rolled into the trunk once it's refactored.

In fact it looks self-documenting.  :)
