it is possible that if the receive has been arrived the callback will
be called before recv_buffer_nb() returns. This causes deadlock
as we try to acquire the lock, but already hold it.
This was causing orterun and orteds to stall in certian situations.
Became evident when stress testing dynamics with remote nodes.

This fixes one of the race conditions in orterun is sent a kill signal.
Before it would sometimes spin in the OOB waiting for a message to complete
to a peer that was no longer around. Stalling at this level prevented orterun
from noticing that it had received a kill signal.

LIBADD instead of appending to the existing one.
Also removed some more Makefile.options whitespace, and I think emacs
removed some tabs (i.e., replaced them with whitespace).

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, instead of the deprecated version.
* Work around dumbness in modern AC_INIT that requires the version
number to be set at autoconf time (instead of at configure time, as
it was before). Set the version number, minus the subversion r number,
at autoconf time. Override the internal variables to include the r
number (if needed) at configure time. Basically, the right thing
should always happen. The only place it might not is the version
reported as part of configure --help will not have an r number.
* Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE taks a list of options, no need to specify
them in all the Makefile.am files.
* Addes support for subdir-objects, meaning that object files are put
in the directory containing source files, even if the Makefile.am is
in another directory. This should start making it feasible to
reduce the number of Makefile.am files we have in the tree, which
will greatly reduce the time to run autogen and configure.

Here's the huge registry check-in you've all been waiting for with baited breath. The revised version sends a single message to all processes at the various stage gates, thus making the startup much more scalable. I could provide you with all the tawdry details, but won't for now - you are welcome to ask, though, and I'll merrily bore your ears to tears.
In addition, the commit contains the following:
1. set the ignore properties on ompi/debuggers and orte/mca/pls/poe
2. Added simplified subscribe and put functions to the registry's API. I have also converted all of the ompi functions that registered subscriptions to the new API, and caught their associated put's as well.
In a follow-on commit, I'll be adding support for George's hetero arch registry subscription (wanted to get this one in first).

Haven't fully tested these yet (nobody is using them at the moment that I know of - good thing, since they haven't been working for a long time - though I know the MPI-2 stuff needs the functionality), but will do so shortly. For now, they compile.

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.
