This required a little fiddling with a number of areas. Biggest problem was that it uncovered a potential for an infinite loop to be created in the registry. If a callback function modified the registry, the registry checked the triggers to see if anything had fired. Well, if the original callback was due to a trigger firing, that condition hadn't changed - so the trigger fired again....which caused the callback to be called, which modified the registry, which checked the triggers, etc. etc.
Triggers are now checked and then "flagged" as being "in process" so that the registry will NOT recheck that trigger until all callbacks have been processed. Tried doing this with subscriptions as well, but that caused a problem - when we release processes from a stagegate, they (at the moment) immediately place data on the registry that should cause a subscription to fire. Unfortunately, the system will just hang if that subscription doesn't get processed. So, I have left the subscription system alone - any callback function that modifies the registry in a fashion that will fire a subscription will indeed fire that subscription. We'll have to see if this causes problems - it shouldn't, but a careless user could lock things up if the callback generates a callback to itself.
Also fixed the code that placed a process' RML contact info on the registry to eliminate the leading '/' from the string.

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
