- new preferred API calls for registering MCA parameters are
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string} and
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string}_name.
- See opal/mca/base/mca_base_param.h for docs on new calls.
- Can now register and lookup a value at the same time.
- Can now mark a parameter "read only" at registration time
- Can now mark a parameter "internal" at registration time
- Can now associate a help message with the parameter at registration
time; displayed in the ompi_info output.
The old API calls are still available for backwards compatibility
(mca_base_param_register_{int|string}. They will eventually be
removed -- all developers are encouraged to use the new APIs from here
on out and replace any old calls with the new API.
Some params were also renamed -- the previous convention of using
"base_" as a prefix for any param that was not associated with a
component is henceforth deprecated. Instead, use one of the following
prefixes:
mca: for anything in the MCA base itself
opal: for anything in OPAL
orte: for anything in ORTE
mpi: for anything in OMPI

* Add ability to completely disable libltdl (the dlopen code to load
dynamic shared objects) to configure: --disable-dlopen
* Added MCA param (component_disable_dlopen) to disable DSO loading
at runtime
* Made the event library behave in some not-completely-erroneous way
on platforms where it has absolutely no eventops support (ie, no
select, poll, or epoll)
* Disabled orte_wait, opal_few, and opal_daemon_init code on
platforms without fork, waitpid support. All non-init functions
will return OPMI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
* Disable orteprobe tool when fork or pipe aren't supported
This commit was SVN r6490.
* rename ompi_malloc to opal_malloc
* rename ompi_numtostr to opal_numtostr
* start of rename of ompi_environ to opal_environ
This commit was SVN r6332.
* rename ompi_basename to opal_basename
* rename ompi bitop functions to opal
* rename ompi_cmd_line to opal_cmd_line
* rename ompi_sizet2int to opal_sizet2int
* rename orte_daemon_init to opal_daemon_init
* rename ompi_few to opal_few

- move mpool and allocator frameworks back to ompi (from opal)
- specialize the ompi_free_list class to use an mpool instance
- un-specialize opal_free_list to *not* use mpool; just use malloc/free
