Hi,

A good start...

Are we assuming that any OpenMP implementation is language-neutral? In other
words, the front end (be it Fortran or C or C++) will produce common
primitives for the "middle end" and back end?

Good point -- and we should also consider that we might want to allow
different threading models, even on the same architecture. By asbtracting
the thread model, could we defer the choice of model until the back end /
link stage?

I'm just rambling thoughts here...
