Next message will contain postscript for a new version of the thread
version. I streamlined the initialization part. We now have new
MPI_THRAD_INIT and MPI_THREAD_INITIALIZED that can be used instead of
MPI_INIT and MPI_INITIALIZED to initilize MPI, thread environment included.
This avoids some possible races and is cleaner.
Please check the design to make sure there are no problems (no much time
left...).
In particular:
1. Do we sitll want argc,argv in the MPI initialization call? Or is this
obsolete?
2. Will somebody check C++ binding?
