1. Modify the registry to eliminate redundant data copying for startup messages.
2. Revise the subscription/trigger system to avoid redundant storage of triggers and subscriptions. This dramatically reduces the search time when a registry action occurs - to illustrate the point, there are now only a handful of triggers on the system for each job. Before, there were a handful of triggers for each PROCESS in the job, all of which had to be checked every time something happened on the registry. This is much, much faster now.
3. Update all subscriptions to the new format. There are now "named" subscriptions - this allows you to "name" a subscription that all the processes will be using. The first one to hit the registry actually defines the subscription. From then on, any subsequent "subscribes" to the same name just cause that process to "attach" to the existing subscription. This keeps the number of subscriptions being tracked by the registry to a minimum, while ensuring that each process still gets notified.
4. Do the same for triggers.
Also fixed a duplicate subscription problem that was causing people to receive data equal to the number of processes times the data they should have received from a trigger/subscription. Sorry about that... :-( ...but it's all better now!
Uncovered a situation where the modex data seems to be getting entered on the registry a second time - the latter time coming after the compound command has been "fired", thereby causing all the subscriptions to fire. Asked Tim and Jeff to look into this.
Second phase of the changes will involve modifying the xcast system so that the same message gets sent to all processes. This will further reduce the message traffic, and - once we have a true "broadcast" version of xcast - really speed things up and improve scalability.

multiple components to share a single mpool module (e.g., the
ptl/btl and coll sm components).
- Re-tool the ptl, btl, and coll sm components to first look for the
target mpool module, and if they don't find it, to create it.
- coll sm component now correctly identifies when it is supposed to
run or not (i.e., if all the processes in the communicator are on
the same host). Now we just need to fill in some algorithms. :-)

is a lot more difficult than a PTL, and it can adapt it's behavior to the level of threading required
by the user. In this case the behavior is the priorit of the PML. Therefore this information is never
availale before the init function (of the PML) is called. So I try to keep nearly the same structure
as it was before, with one change. When a PML get initialized it does not necessarily means it has been
selected, so it does not means it has to create all it's internal structures (and select the PTL and
all this stuff). They can all be done later, when a PML knows that it definitively get selected
(when the enable function is called with the argument set to true). Thus, in the case of a PML close
one have to check if the PML has been selected or not before trying to clean up the internals.
I had to change the MPI_Init function to allow the PML to be enabled before we start adding procs inside.

components to succeed with --enable-dist. Instead, just add them to
all_components and make dist will still work - we're going to stamp out
the Makefiles no matter what
* Add missing header to ob1 pml for make dist
* Clean up the Portals BTL configure code

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
