Ralph Castain 13d86e100b Courtesy of Ralph and Jeff: Continue the reorganization of the configure system. Move files from the main config directory to their appropriate level-specific config directories. Modify the configure system to correctly handle compiler detection, test, and setup so that all things pertaining to opal and orte are done at the lower level, with the ompi configure system only looking at mpi-specific options. Ensure the wrapper compilers for orte and ompi only get built when appropriate. Add support for c++ to the orte wrapper compilers, both script and non-script versions.

README.txt

This is the OMPI contrib system.  It is (far) less functional and
flexible than the OMPI MCA framework/component system.

Each contrib package must have either both a configure.params and a
configure.m4 file, or it must have an autogen.subdirs file.

If it has (configure.params, configure.m4), configure.params can be
just like any MCA component's: specify a list of files to create
during AC_OUTPUT.  The configure.m4 file will be slurped up into the
main configure script, just like other MCA components.  Note that
there is currently no "no configure" option for contrib packages --
you *must* have a configure.m4 (even if all it does it call $1).
Feel free to fix this situation if you want -- see:

    https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1162

:-)

If it has an autogen.subdirs file, then it needs to be a subdirectory
that is autogen-able (see the vt project for an example).
