I think so.  We are getting near the point where we're looking
for real-life test cases to stress the code more than what we
can do reading the spec and writing synthetic tests.

I've added a libgomp component for reporting bugs against the
runtime, and an openmp keyword for reporting bugs against the
parsers.  So if you have a c++ parsing problem, put "c++" in
the "component" field, and "openmp" in the "keywords" field.
Similarly for the Fortran or C front ends.  If you get a crash
in "omp-low.c" or something, then it would make sense to put
"middle-end" in the component field.

Cool.  Note that I havn't implemented constructors and destructors
for variables in data sharing clauses yet.  I'm hoping to have
that by Monday, but it is looking to be the most complicated part
of the c++ work.

Ya know, I was thinking not a half-hour ago while I was looking
at the spec wrt exceptions in for-loop that "continue" probably
didn't work.  I'll fix it tomorrow.
