[Mpi-21] TODO - AUTHORS of MPI-2.1 - Workplan

[Jeff Squyres]

What about the C++/Fortran language bindings text?  Should the  
majority of chapter 13 be merged into Terms and Conventions (and  
elsewhere)?

It's not really a "problem", per se -- but it is a little awkward.   
There are sections in chapter 13 that could definitely fit in existing  
text elsewhere.  Some of it is redundant, too.
