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.

MPI_INIT and start of MPI_FINALIZE.
* Clean up MPI Extensions build system to acknowledge that OMPI's the only
project with extensions, as well as remove some build artifacts necessary
for more general components.

--enable-mpi-ext configure switch in the top-level README file).
See Josh's excellent wiki page about OMPI extensions:

This extension exposes a new API to MPI applications:
{{{
int OMPI_Affinity_str(char ompi_bound[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char current_binding[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char exists[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX]);
}}}
It returns 3 things. Each are a prettyprint string describing sets of
processors in terms of sockets and cores:
1. What Open MPI bound this process to. If Open MPI didn't bind this
process, the prettyprint string says so.
1. What this process is currently bound to. If the process is
unbound, the prettyprint string says so. This string is a
separate OUT parameter to detect the case where some other entity
bound the process (potentially after Open MPI bound it).
1. What processors are availabile in the system, mainly for reference.
