It is good enough with POSIX dependent C++ code.  And I don't plan to
do anything which depends critically on the more detailed requirements
on Ada tasking (a "pthreads" based solution is likely to be good
enough).

I have no interest in perfect C++ code.  It should just be able to
pass through a C++ compiler, and give roughly the same answer as the
Ada code.
