Separate from Joseph's comments, is this library strictly a part of GCC, 
or is it shared with other implementations such as Clang/LLVM or ICC? 
If shared, which copy is the master?  If shared, where should patches 
for the library be posted?

I haven't looked closely, but what license is the actual runtime covered 
by?  BSD-ish, LGPL, something else?

Depending on the answers, we may need approval from the steering 
committee to accept.  It's a process we've worked through for various 
other libraries (Cilk, Sanitizers, etc).
