details.
* Remove the ptmalloc memory component; replace it with a new "linux"
memory component.
* The linux memory component will conditionally compile in support
for ummunotify. At run-time, if it has ummunotify support and
finds run-time support for ummunotify (i.e., /dev/ummunotify), it
uses it. If not, it tries to use ptmalloc via the glibc memory
hooks.
* Add some more API functions to the memory framework to accomodate
the ummunotify model (i.e., poll to see if memory has "changed").
* Add appropriate calls in the rcache to the new memory APIs to see
if memory has changed, and to react accordingly.
* Add a few comments in the openib BTL to indicate why we don't need
to notify the OPAL memory framework about specific instances of
registered memory.
* Add dummy API calls in the solaris malloc component (since it
doesn't have polling/"did memory change" support).

component/base Makefile.am files, reducing the time configure spends
stamping out Makefiles at the end
* Install base_impl.h file when devel-headers are being installed
This commit was SVN r8200.
originally suggested by Ralf Wildenhues, to try to speed autogen, configure,
and make (and possibly even make install). Use automake's include directive
to drastically reduce the number of Makefile files (although the number of
Makefile.am files is the same - most are just included in a top-level
Makefile.am). Also use an Automake SUBDIRs feature to eliminate the
dynamic-mca tree, which was no longer really needed. This makes adding
a framework easier (since you don't have to remember the dynamic-mca
tree) and makes building faster (as make doesn't have to recurse through
the dynamic-mca tree)

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.
This commit was SVN r7211.
* Add base to memory framework so that we can do something sane with
ompi_info
* Updated ompi_info to print components for memory framework and
show whether we have memory hooks active or not.
This commit was SVN r6861.
