-*** NOTES
-
-*** need to look at Request struct, add a type
-    so that send.c and recv.c can use distinct send and recv types
-
-*** need to add types in mpi.h and mpif.master.h to type.{c,h}
-
-
-*** need to look at config and how it sets _RSIZE_ and _DSIZE_
-
-    previously: MCT's configure set env FORT_SIZE
-                choose mpif.h from mpif.$FORT_SIZE.h
-
-    now: FORT_SIZE ignored
-         configures sets FSIZE_REAL and FSIZE_DPRECISION based on mpi-serial's configure (default 4/8)
-         does not need mpif.master.h template -> mpif.$FORT_SIZE.h
-
-    so... did i clobber good value of mpif.h ?
