In core library portions of the configury (e.g., top-level
configure.ac itself), we were calling AC_CHECK_LIB and
OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB to check for various libraries.
'''SIDENOTE:''' It turns out that modern Autoconf has AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
which does just about exactly what OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB does. So this
commit effectively replaces OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB with AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
However, we never bothered to add these found libraries to the wrapper
compiler list of libraries used for static linking (doh!). We've been
getting lucky for quite a while that components were adding the same
libraries to their wrapper compiler LIBS list.
This is problematic, however, if we don't build some of these
components. For example, Paul Hargrove noticed that if he configured
with --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-io-romio, ROMIO was no
longer adding some libraries to the wrapper LIBS list -- libraries
that just happened to also be needed by core OPAL/ORTE/OMPI layers.
The solution is not to use AC_CHECK_LIB or OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB, but
use a pair of new macros:
* OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_CORE: a wrapper around AC_SEARCH_LIBS. If we add
something to $LIBS, then also add it to the wrapper list of static
libraries. This is the main piece of functionality that was
wrong/missing.
* OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_COMPONENT: similar to OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_CORE, but
instead of directly adding it to the wrapper list of static
libaries, add it to <framework>_<component>_LIBS (which eventually
gets slurped up into the wrapper list of static libraries. See the
lengthy comment in config/opal_setup_wrappers.m4 near the beginning
of OPAL_SETUP_WRAPPER_INIT() for a more detailed explanation).
Most components did this correctly already, but one or two weren't
right, so I implemented this second macro quite similar to the
first and put it everywhere we already used AC_SEARCH_LIBS or
OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB.
This needs to soak for a day or two on the trunk before moving to the
v1.8 branch.

pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.
This commit was SVN r30140.
Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

to make MPI_IN_PLACE (and other sentinel Fortran constants) work on OS
X, we need to use the following compiler (linker) flag:
-Wl,-commons,use_dylibs
So if we're compiling on OS X, test to see if that flag works with the
compiler. If so, add it to the wrapper FFLAGS and FCFLAGS (note that
per a future update, we'll only have one Fortran compiler anyway).
