I'm not sure either.  I think adding parallel capability is important,
but I am no expert, so someone else is going to have to write it.  To
have it included in Octave, it needs to generally follow the
conventions of the rest of Octave.  Otherwise, you are of course free
to distribute whatever you like as an external package (provided that
it meets the requirements of the GPL, if it is intended to be linked
with Octave).
