Portable, unless you need to use the host apps MP services to make sure you
aren't stomping on what the host app is doing. This is relevant for many
hosts applications. And will hopefully become relevant for FxPlug hosts as
well (a feature I have asked for many times in the FxPlug API).
This is not relevant for FCP/Motion RIGHT NOW because they don't have MP
callbacks. But many host apps do. So if you use OpenMP, and you plan to
develop plugins for other host apps, then make sure to put your OpenMP code
in side some well designed wrappers/macros/etc.
You'll thank me later ;-)
