Clean up the remainder of the size_t references in the runtime itself. Convert to orte_std_cntr_t wherever it makes sense (only avoid those places where the actual memory size is referenced).
Remove the obsolete oob barrier function (we actually obsoleted it a long time ago - just never bothered to clean it up).
I have done my best to go through all the components and catch everything, even if I couldn't test compile them since I wasn't on that type of system. Still, I cannot guarantee that problems won't show up when you test this on specific systems. Usually, these will just show as "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" notes which are easily fixed (just change a size_t to orte_std_cntr_t).
In some places, people didn't use size_t, but instead used some other variant (e.g., I found several places with uint32_t). I tried to catch all of them, but...
Once we get all the instances caught and fixed, this should once and for all resolve many of the heterogeneity problems.

1. Changed the RMGR and PLS APIs to add "signal_job" and "signal_proc" entry points. Only the "signal_job" entries are implemented - none of the components have implementations for "signal_proc" at this time. Thus, you can signal all of the procs in a job, but cannot currently signal only one specific proc.
2. Implemented those new API functions in all components except xgrid (Brian will do so very soon). Only the rsh/ssh and fork modules have been tested, however, and only under OS-X.
3. Added signal traps and callback functions for SIGUSR1/2 to orterun/mpirun that catch those signals and call the appropriate commands to propagate them out to all processes in the job.
4. Added a new test directory under the orte branch to (eventually) hold unit and system level tests for just the run-time. Since our test branch of the repository is under restricted access, people working on the RTE were continually developing their own system-level tests - thus making it hard to help diagnose problems. I have moved the more commonly-used functions here, and added one specifically for testing the SIGUSR1/2 functionality.
I will be contacting people directly to seek help with testing the changes on more environments. Other than compile issues, you should see absolutely no change in behavior on any of your systems - this additional functionality is transparent to anyone who does not issue a SIGUSR1/2 to mpirun.

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

caller to specify a subset of the state variables that it can can subscribe to.
This is specified with one of three special flags defined in rmgr/rmgr_types.h
This is useful when we only care about a subset of the state changes, such as
in orted which only needs to know when a job has terminated or aborted.

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.
