I don't like this commit, but it's what we've got for the moment.
Sensible improvements are welcome.

The LMT code should definitely be able to get better parallelism than this, but it
will require careful study to get it right.  The LMT critical section is just held
in a far too broad and clumsy way right now.  There are two major
problems:

1) the LMT code must call "up" to the main CH3 code in order to send and
   receive helper packets
2) MPIDCOMM and LMT both lock code regions, rather than data.  Together
   with (1) above, this makes it difficult to avoid deadlocks.

A small helper function to handle the common-ish case of running the

Valgrind output is much easier to understand when these functions aren't
inlined.

[svn-r6903] Fixed some warnings, fixed compile failure with --enable-fast, fixed places where MPIR_Err_return_* was not being called.  No reviewer.

[svn-r6902] relaxed the check for autoconf version so that both 2.63 and 2.64 are allowed in updatefiles.

[svn-r6899] Making changes to windows configure script related to r6852. (1) All *F90* vars are now renamed as *FC* (2) The complete set of fort integer models is now represented by a new var - *ALL_INTEGER_MODELS and the older *INTEGER_MODEL var is now used similar to other dt MODELs

[svn-r6898] fix to r6897 so that top-level configure's enable-option-checking is followed in the subconfigure.

[svn-r6897] disable option checking in mpich2's configure of subpackage (no more warnings of unrecognize --enable or --with options) so it behaves the same as AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.

to connect back to the server, ask the user to check for
firewalls. Also, added some code to error out on the server side if
the proxy terminates badly.

bootstraps, pass a NULL stdin socket.

versions of ssh seem to freak out when the stdin socket is
closed. This issue showed up on ranger.

external bootstrap servers.

[svn-r6887] Replaced strerror with MPIU_Strerror in a whole bunch of places (basically everywhere, but romio, mpe, windows netmods, etc.).  Reviewed by goodell@

method to avoid more bugs in the future.

RMK.

Cadence. Also moved the LSF RMK functionality to the bootstrap server
as well.

external script based bootstrap servers to a common directory, since
they share a lot of code. This commit also fixes a bunch of bugs in
the configure step which was not allowing the user to pick the
non-default bootstrap server easily.

rewriting it in configure.in

[svn-r6874] Removed the 2nd set of compilers in test/mpi/configure.in, i.e. BASExx, which are basically replaced by "mpixx -nativelinking".  This greatly simplifies the test/mpi/configure.in because there is no need to swap between 2 set of compilers and compiler flags, CC/CFLAGS vs MPICC/MPICC_CFLAGS, for every languages in every tests.  Also replaced all AC_TRY_* by AC_*_IFELSE and removed all references of AC_FD_CC, updated the configure.in to autoconf-2.6x style.  Removed AC_SUBST(autoconf precious variables)....

[svn-r6873] added -nativelinking option so the builddir version of MPI wrappers can be used subpackge configure.in to replace the 2nd compiler, i.e. BASE* compiler in test/mpi/configure.in.  -nativelinking is an internal option, so don't show it on -help output.

This bug doesn't show up on many platforms, since sizeof(int)==sizeof(long)
in many cases.  On OS X 10.6, with 64-bit compiles (the default), the sizes
are 4 and 8 bytes, respectively.
