Sorry, I missed this feedback earlier.  I will incorporate these into 
the quickstart.

It's the term that gets used at the HPEC-SI meetings to additionally 
distinguish between C VSIPL and C++ VSIPL++ APIs.  Sometimes "VSIPL" 
gets used as an umbrella term for both APIs.  Adding a "C" further 
disambiguates the two.  I suppose hyphenating the two could create 
confusion.

Perhaps choice use of "C VSIPL"?

<title>VSIPL Back End</title>

<para>
  An implementation of the C VSIPL API can be used by Sourcery VSIPL++ ...
</para>
