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.
This commit was SVN r23764.
Add two new configure options that specify:
1. when to add padding to the openib control header - this *only* happens when the configure option is specified
2. when to use the dr-like checksum as opposed to the memcpy checksum. Not selectable at runtime - to eliminate performance impacts, this is a configure-only option
Also removed an unused checksum version from opal/util/crc.h.
The new component still needs a little cleanup and some sync with recent ob1 bug fixes. It was created as a separate module to avoid performance hits in ob1 itself, though most of the code is duplicative. The component is only selectable by either specifying it directly, or configuring with the dr-like checksum -and- setting -mca pml_csum_enable_checksum 1.
Modify the LANL platform files to take advantage of the new module.
