[ewg] Dependencies in OpenSM libraries

[John Russo]

The concern is that use of basic utilities and diagnostic tools should
not require opensm to be installed.  Given the previous discussion it
would have seemed that only opensm was going to use the non-public
libraries.  We are unclear on what the permitted scope of use of these
libraries are.

I don't think it is mistake - what is the issue with infiniband-diags
using opensm-libs?
