Two things to note:
- This change will allow us to expand the BTL interface without
having to worry about modifying BTLs that will not support the new
interfaces. More on this will come later this year as part of the
1.9 series.
- C99 guarantees that uninitialed members of structs declared outside
of functions (DATA binary section) will be initialized with
0's. This allows us to drop stuff like .btl_flags = 0, or .btl_get
= NULL.

The following Trac tickets were found above:

configure-time dynamic allocation of flags. The net result for platforms
which only support BTL-based communication is a reduction of 8*nprocs bytes
per process. Platforms which support both MTLs and BTLs will not see
a space reduction, but will now be able to safely run both the MTL and BTL
side-by-side, which will prove useful.
