Reasoning: The old behavior was a little confusing. mca_base_components_open does not open an output stream so it is a little unexpected that mca_base_components_close does. To add to this several frameworks (that don't use mca_base_components_close) failed to close their output in the framework close function and others closed their output a second time. This change is an improvement to the symantics of mca_base_components_open/close as they are now symetric in their functionality. This commit was SVN r27570.
12 Sep 2011 Notes for hwloc component maintainers: 1. There can only be *1* hwloc version component at a time. Specifically: if there are multiple hwlocXYZ components (i.e., different versions of hwloc), then they must all be .ompi_ignore'd except for 1. This is because we currently m4_include all of the underlying hwloc's .m4 files -- if there are multiple hwlocXYZ components, I don't know if m4 will barf at the multiple, conflicting AC_DEFUNs, or whether it'll just do something completely undefined. 1a. As a consequence, if you're adding a new hwloc version component, you'll need to .ompi_ignore all others while you're testing the new one. 2. If someone wants to fix #1 someday, we might be able to do what we do for libevent: OMPI_CONFIG_SUBDIR (instead of slurping in hwloc's .m4 files).
