[openib-general] mpi drop in openib tree

Guys, someone seems to have dropped the complete copy
of mvapich mpi under the openib trunk.
In the future, could whoever plans to contribute large amounts
of code please discuss the code and its placement on the list first?

Does this make sense to have it under openib?
It appears that Dr. Panda distributes the MPI for gen2 - why
would openib want to fork it?

We are also talking about almost 100megabytes of code,
including what seems java binaries under ./mvapich-gen2/mpe/slog2sdk -
I am almost sure we do not want binaries under subversion trunk here.

I suggest removing mpi ASAP, or moving it to contrib or some other
place where it wont cause each svn checkout to take twice the time.
