Does this build ? 

I get the following when I run autogen:
src/Makefile.am:46: AM_CFLAGS was already defined in condition TRUE,
which implies condition OSM_VENDOR_MTL_TRUE

Are these all ported and working in OpenIB ?

Do the files have the correct licenses ?

Glad to hear this.

The trunk is for eligible for release. IMO, it seems a little early yet
for this. I would like to get them all built for OpenIB and play wit
them a little. Also, I fwould like to understand these better and their
implications. I would also be interested in hearing other opinions and
how wide the community of interest for these tools is.
