* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

improve the scheduling and relax the pressure on the network.

zeroes);
if so, use it for bit-operations like opal_cube_dim and opal_hibit.
Implement two versions of power-of-two.
In case of opal_next_poweroftwo, this reduces the average execution
time from 83 cycles to 4 cycles (Intel Nehalem, icc, -O2, inlining,
measured rdtsc, with loop over 2^27 values).
Numbers for other functions are similar (but of course heavily depend
on the usage, e.g. opal_hibit() with a start of 4 does not save
much). The bsr instruction on AMD Opteron is also not as fast.
- Replace various places where the next power-of-two is computed.
Tested on Intel Nehalem Cluster with openib, compilers GNU-4.6.1 and
Intel-12.0.4 using mpi_testsuite -t "Collective" with 128 processes.

To enable the epochs and the resilient orte code, use the configure flag:
--enable-resilient-orte
This will define both:
ORTE_ENABLE_EPOCH

This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

* change comm_init API - no need to pass local rank groups, fca calculates that on its own.
* remove local rank list from module - libfca maintains that now.
* in fca_bcast and fca_reduce - pass root rank index and let libfca figure out the local rank index.
