(I agree to drop the TODO marker, obviously.)  Note that I'm not trying
to drive this into a "bikeshedding" discussion, and neither is my
intention to discredit the lots of pioneering OpenMP work in GCC (which
we're largely basing our OpenACC work on -- thanks!).

The underlying question here is, with offloading generally as well as the
OpenACC Runtime Library also to be living in libgomp, calling it "GNU
OpenMP Runtime Library" is no longer accurate.  (Also, I'm not proposing
to change the libgomp library name -- that would probably be too much of
a hassle?)  Do we want a new "verbose" name for libgomp, "GNU Offloading,
OpenACC, and OpenMP Runtime Library" (sorting alphabetically), or
something else, or no change.  I'm afraid that not changing it will be
confusing to users who are looking for the GCC implementation of the
OpenACC Runtime Library, for example?


GrÃÃe,
 Thomas
