Hi all

I have reworked Fabrice P. Cordelières' 3D Object Counter to remove all
but the largest particle from a binary 3D stack, preparing the stack for
connectivity analysis.

Since the object counting algorithm is recursive and my group uses large
(up to 2048 x 2048 x 2048 pixel) stacks, it can be very slow, so I have
adapted the algorithm for multiple CPUs.  Since this is my first go at
writing a multithreaded plugin, I'm sure it is not ideal, but it seems
to work for me, and is quite a lot faster than the single-threaded
alternative.

If you would like to check it out, it's here:

I'm working on improving my coding style, so any suggestions you have
are appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike
