I think you could learn more about parallelism and C++.  If you want to 
access the OpenMP library from C or from Lisp, it would look about the 
same.  However, for Lisp to run in a separate thread you have
to decide how separate.  For example, shared memory? Parallel garbage 
collection?

And is OpenMP or something like it really appropriate for Maxima?
