Langhooks are used for handling differences between the front-ends: 
for example the hooks structure includes the name of the language, ..., 
and pointers to functions that have to be specific to a front-end.  
This is how we will handle differences of OMP semantics (if any) between 
the C, C++, and Fortran.

I have to use a similar mechanism for the CFG at tree/rtl level because 
the C does not provide polymorphism, but basically hooks are close to this 
concept.
