- change the framework opens to [mostly] use the new MCA param API
- properly pass in framework debug output streams to the
mca_base_component_open() function

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.

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.

frameworks, and components without configure scripts instead of
hard-coded shell variables (for projects and frameworks) and
shell variable building (for components).
* Add 3rd category of component configuration (in addition to configure
scripts and no-configured components): configure.m4 components. These
components can only be built as part of OMPI (like no-configure), but
can provide an m4 file that is run as part of the main configure
script. These macros can set whether the component should be built,
along with just about any other configuration wanted. More care must
be taken compared to configure components, as doing things like setting
variables or calling AC_MSG_ERROR now affects the top-level configure
script (so calling AC_MSG_ERROR if your component can't configure
probably isn't what you want)
* Added support to autogen.sh for the configure.m4-style components,
as well as building up the m4_define lists ompi_mca.m4 now expects
* Updated a number of macros to be more config.cache friendly (both
so that config.cache can be used and so the test can be quickly
run multiple times in the same configrue script):
- ompi_config_asm
- c_weak_symbols
- c_get_alignment
* Added new macros to be shared when configuring components:
- ompi_objc.m4 (this actually provides AC_PROG_OBJC - don't ask...)
- ompi_check_xgrid
- ompi_check_tm
- ompi_check_bproc
* Updated a number of components to use configure.m4 instead of
configure.stub
- btl portals
- io romio
- tm ras and pls
- bjs, lsf_bproc ras and bproc_seed pls
- xgrid ras and pls
- null iof (used by tm)
