1. new functionality in the pls base to check for reusable daemons and launch upon them
2. an extension of the odls API to allow each odls component to build a notify message with the "correct" data in it for adding processes to the local daemon. This means that the odls now opens components on the HNP as well as on daemons - but that's the price of allowing so much flexibility. Only the default odls has this functionality enabled - the others just return NOT_IMPLEMENTED
3. addition of a new command line option "--reuse-daemons" to orterun. The default, for now, is to NOT reuse daemons. Once we have more time to test this capability, we may choose to reverse the default. For one thing, we probably want to investigate the tradeoffs in start time for comm_spawn'd processes that reuse daemons versus launch their own. On some systems, though, having another daemon show up can cause problems - so they may want to set the default as "reuse".
This is ONLY enabled for rsh launch, at the moment. The code needing to be added to each launcher is about three lines long, so I'll be doing that as I get access to machines I can test it on.

Accordingly, there are new APIs to the name service to support the ability to get a job's parent, root, immediate children, and all its descendants. In addition, the terminate_job, terminate_orted, and signal_job APIs for the PLS have been modified to accept attributes that define the extent of their actions. For example, doing a "terminate_job" with an attribute of ORTE_NS_INCLUDE_DESCENDANTS will terminate the given jobid AND all jobs that descended from it.
I have tested this capability on a MacBook under rsh, Odin under SLURM, and LANL's Flash (bproc). It worked successfully on non-MPI jobs (both simple and including a spawn), and MPI jobs (again, both simple and with a spawn).

Add some debugger output to the ODLS default component.
Modify the orted command communication system so that it is done via non-blocking sends. This removes the linearity of the transmission and improves the response time.

Add some debugging output to the ODLS default module, and the orted.
Remove the nodename data from the ODLS info report - that info is already stored in the registry by the RMAPS framework upon completing the mapping procedure.
Add another test program that does an ORTE-only dynamic spawn (gasp!). Looks just like comm_spawn - just no MPI involved.
Modify the ODLS to release the processor when we "kill" local procs in a more scalable fashion. It previously had a sleep in it that Jeff's prior commit removed. However, he introduced some Windows code into the non-Windows component (protected by "if"s, but unnecessary). This is a more general solution he proposed - included here so I could get things to compile properly.

1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.

This patch will cause a problem for cnos, however, as there we want to specifically tell the backends to be "null". I'm working on that issue.

processes launched locally for the stdio file names. This was causing
the expected files to not exist and bproc_vexecmove_io to fail.
* Clean up a bunch of debugging output in the bproc pls
This commit was SVN r12102.
I have tested on rsh, slurm, bproc, and tm. Bproc continues to have a problem (will be asking for help there).
Gridengine compiles but I cannot test (believe it likely will run).
Poe and xgrid compile to the extent they can without the proper include files.

Fix for double mutex free that would cause an abort condition in the orted
whenever threads were enabled.
