-- modified by Sebastian Engel to be parallel, derived from mandelbrot-lua-6

-- called with the following arguments on the command line;
-- 1: Initial depth of the tree 
-- 2: number of children to spawn (defaults to 6, which works well on 4-way)
-- If this is a child, then there will be additional parameters;
-- 3: current tree depth 
-- 4: chunk start
-- 5: chunk end
