Rainer Keller e393048872 - The struct mca_base_component_t does not need to be defined as we
#include "opal/mca/mca.h"
 - Should have ompi_config for the ifdef

/** @file
* Open MPI module-related data transfer mechanism
*
* A system for publishing module-related data for global
* initialization. Known simply as the "modex", this interface
* provides a system for sharing data, particularly data related to
* modules and their availability on the system.
*
* The modex system is tightly integrated into the general run-time
* initialization system and takes advantage of global update periods
* to minimize the amount of network traffic. All updates are also
* stored in the general purpose registry, and can be read at any time
* during the life of the process. Care should be taken to not call
* the blocking receive during the first stage of global
* initialization, as data will not be available the process will
* likely hang.
*
* @note For the purpose of this interface, two components are
* "corresponding" if:
* - they share the same major and minor MCA version number
* - they have the same type name string
* - they share the same major and minor type version number
* - they have the same component name string
* - they share the same major and minor component version number

/**
* Send a module-specific buffer to all other corresponding MCA
* modules in peer processes
*
* This function takes a contiguous buffer of network-ordered data
* and makes it available to all other MCA processes during the
* selection process. Modules sent by one source_component can only
* be received by a corresponding module with the same
* component name.
*
* This function is indended to be used during MCA module
* initialization \em before \em selection (the selection process is
* defined differently for each component type). Each module will
* provide a buffer containing meta information and/or parameters
* that it wants to share with its corresponding modules in peer
* processes. This information typically contains location /
* contact information for establishing communication between
* processes (in a manner that is specific to that module). For
* example, a TCP-based module could provide its IP address and TCP
* port where it is waiting on listen(). The peer process receiving
* this buffer can therefore open a socket to the indicated IP
* address and TCP port.
*
* During the selection process, the MCA framework will effectively
* perform an "allgather" operation of all modex buffers; every
* buffer will be available to every peer process (see
* ompi_modex_recv()).
*
* The buffer is copied during the send call and may be modified or
* free()'ed immediately after the return from this function call.
*
* @note Buffer contents is transparent to the MCA framework -- it \em
* must already either be in network order or be in some format that
* peer processes will be able to read it, regardless of pointer sizes
* or endian bias.
*
* @param[in] source_component A pointer to this module's component
* structure
* @param[in] buffer A pointer to the beginning of the buffer to send
* @param[in] size Number of bytes in the buffer
*
* @retval OMPI_SUCCESS On success
* @retval OMPI_ERROR An unspecified error occurred
