On difference is that gfortran was a totally new frontend, you just dropped 
the new directory into an existing gcc tree with almost no patching of 
existing files. Even then keeping things in sync was a running battle at 
times. This is probably going to be the case for libgomp.

However if you're modifying an existing frontend I think it'll make keeping 
things in sync a lot easier if it's a branch in gcc cvs. If not I'd expect 
you're basically going to have to clone the whole gcc tree anyway.

I can understand the reluctance to work directly from gcc cvs if core gomp 
developers don't have CVS write access, but I'm sure that can be fixed :) 
Moving gfortran into gcc cvs reduced my maintenance burden quite 
significantly.
