A lot of OSC is auto-translated from Pascal.
Infelicitous.
Make right!

eg --version, etc

Should use malloc for serial model. Pthreads can also
use the same malloc (at least in the _r libraries).
The DSA is a holdover when we needed to allocate special
shared memory pools (History note: We needed this to
make shared memory work on a 8-way parallel cluster of VAX
called circus.'' We also had a 2-way VAX called dumbo.''
Shared memory pages were mapped so that page maps for
each processor were overlaid via special calls).

Anyhow, the DSA technology is old and we should not
run with it if we don't have to. A particular annoyance
is requiring the memory requirements to be set before
run starts. The original 10meg DSA size is ludicrous.

We'll need to integrate to Cmake to work with llvm

Rewrite the concurrent layer to use OpenMP/MPI.

Integrate LLVM as a back-end.

Probably at IF1 layer?

Integrate with llvm-project/parallel-libs ?

LBL's Cray T3E prefers to build with a stable FORTRAN
90 compiler. It may simply be reasonable to check to
see if F77 is well behaved and use it (trying for
F90 if it doesn't exist).

Note: When the foriegn interfaces work is up and running,
I will simply detect the full set of languages
(C, C++, Python, F77, F90) and build interface plug-ins
for each.

Sisalc seems to break the -e option of osc -- I have to name the
main program ``main'' to get things to work.

Move to an (default off?) option?

The tree hasn't been updated for several years, and is at least one C standard, and several releases of gcc, behind.

Need to fix:

1. Compilation errors;
2. Compilation warnings.
3. Build system

And then re-validate on tests.

Adopt a ../build method.
