Just a brief update... I upgraded to the "19-parallel-execution" branch,
after which I could use Fabric as a library. However, Fabric threads
still stepped on each other's toes, e.g. simultaneous "put" failed in
all except one thread. So, I changed the approach and made each
"configurer" thread launch a separate Fabric process, after which things
have worked just great!

Thanks for the help, Jeff!
