My pleasure.

By the way, have you considered how your library might be used to 
propagate C++ exceptions thrown on one or more processors to the other 
processors?  Robust parallel termination semantics are difficult to 
achieve and the ability to propagate C++ exceptions in parallel can 
greatly improve program behavior.  Your library seems like a natural 
place to provide this capability.

We've done some work in this area if you're interested.
