Sig Members: I have prepared a preliminary charter for the Language
Binding SIG. It is given below. Please comment, pro and con.
    
Language Binding SIG Charter.
  
The deliverable from the Language Binding SIG is the contribution to the
CPI-C Reference manual all areas pertaining to the use of CPI-C by the
languages supported. 
   
In order to prepare this material for the reference manual, the following
tasks must be performed:
   -  Identify which languages will be included
   -  Contact (again) each of the compiler architects for these languages,
      and re-verify that the language can be used to make CPI-C 2.0 non-
      blocking calls.                                                     
   -  Outline the material to be created, and agree on format and content.
   -  Schedule the creation of the Language Binding material, and assign
      people to prepare each section.
   -  Prepare the rough draft for the CPI-C manual.

Today's CPI-C manual has language related information in a number of
places. We should consider consolidating this information into a single
chapter, in order that it can be more readily used. 
 
The Pseudonym files in the current manual are extremely useful, and must
be updated with new fields for CPI-C 2.0.
