I'm biased, but I'd say ditch your code and sync with upstream. The 
implementation is supported, there's a corresponding open source runtime 
and design is sane. I imagine within this year it'll have "complete" OMP 
support up to the latest standard.

The best way to help with OMP now is code reviews, testing and if 
possible contributing patches for missing features. Intel has an 
out-of-tree fork they are slowly working to get merged into master.
