[mvapich-discuss] MVAPICH2 with SLURM PMI

[Pavan Balaji]

Just as a FYI, mpich2-1.0.7 will have this support. So, as soon as 
MVAPICH2 is upgraded to this new version, you should be able to 
configure it with --with-pmi=slurm --with-pm=slurm and mpicc will do 
this automatically for you.

In the meanwhile, there are two options you can use:

1. Use a patch from the mpich2 trunk (r547) and apply it to MVAPICH2.

2. Move mpicc and friends to mpicc.old, etc., and have wrapper mpicc 
scripts to do this automatically for you.
