<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The code we have in MPICH2 is currently
labeled "CPL", but we have permission to change that. It
will be different in the patch.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unfortunately, we do change code in
the MPICH2 distribution. I've spent time removing a lot of our pointless
changes, but there are certainly still quite a number of changes that we
need. I think it'll take a while to sort through the changes to be
sure that you like them all. Still, some of them are specific to
our project. Hopefully you will be able to quickly pull out the simple
parts for 1.0.7, and then we can work together to clean up most of the
remaining parts.</font>

Would you prefer a patch to enable BlueGene (DCMF) support based on 1.0.7rc1,
and then release version 1.0.7rc2, followed by release 1.0.7 ? Or
do you prefer a patch based on 1.0.7 to be included in a future release
(perhaps 1.0.7p1, or 1.0.8) ?</font><font size=3> <br>
