This is just a thought, but if you want to avoid a lot of #ifdef's,
then maybe you could just #define some pragmas to be used inside
Octave, e.g.

#ifdef _OPENMP
#pragma omp parallel for
#endif

could be just e.g.

#octave_omp_parfor

and this macro could be defined to be empty if OpenMP is disabled...
