To get the ball rolling:

MPI_DATA_MIPS32 MPI_DATA_MIPS64
--------------- ---------------
MPI_CHAR 1 1
MPI_SHORT 2 2
MPI_INT 4 4
MPI_LONG 4 8
MPI_LONG_LONG 8 8
MPI_FLOAT 4 4
MPI_DOUBLE 8 8
MPI_LONG_DOUBLE 16 16

MPI_INTEGER 4 4
MPI_REAL 4 4
MPI_DOUBLE_PRECISION 8 8

endian-ness Big Big
character format ASCII ASCII
floating-point format IEEE IEEE

Have I missed something? I suppose we probably need to address nasty issues
like denorms and NaNs, but at least this is a start. Anyone else care to jump
in?
