Yup, just get the array accesses under scev form, and set a constraint
system from these.  Once you set up the constraint systems for the
dependence distance vectors, you're almost done.  You can look at how
this is set up in gcc trunk tree-data-ref.c, and search for omega.

I would recommend the omega test: get the c++ code for omega lib from
