This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

* If < 0, it's an OPAL_ERR_* value
* If >= 0, it's the actual output value of the function
This is problematic for the OPAL_SOS stuff. This commit changes those
functions to always return OPAL_* statuses and send the output value
back through output parameters (like 95% of the rest of the code
base). This avoids the confusion with OPAL_SOS stuff and makes
paffinity work again (e.g., mpirun --bind-to-core ...).
I updated all paffinitiy modules for the new function signatures, and
bumped the paffinity API version up to 2.0.1. I don't think the
version change will matter, though, because we'll be introducing
support for hardware threads soon, which will either bump the
paffinity version again or we'll replace paffinity with
a new framework.

done this way a long time ago for the "gee whiz!" factor -- when in
reality, they really only need one-of-many-run-time priority
selection).
Changed run-time priorities to be as follows:
* darwin: 20
* linux: 20
* posix: 10
* solaris: 30
* test: 5
* windows: 20
I have a very dim (possibly untrue) recollection that Solaris needs to
have a higher priority than others just to ensure that no other is
chosen under Solaris. Make all other "native" components have a
priority of 20 (they shouldn't conflict with each other). Make the
posix fallback component have a priority of 10. Make the test
component priority 5, meaning someone can always select it, but you
can also make a "never select me" component that prioritizes itself
under test.
