[Mpi-22] MPI 2.2 Document Update (fwd)

Wed Jul 22 13:23:35 CDT 2009

I review all of the changes (I've just made a pass).  You are correct  
that the ticket author should review; I didn't make this explicit but  
included it under the "anyone who is interested".  Please make sure  
that the ticket author agrees with your realization of the ticket.
