[Mpi-22] Ticket #46: Addconst Keyword to the C bindings- implementation

[David Gingold]

Speaking for the SiCortex MPI implementation (which is a derivative  
of MPICH2):

I expect that implementing the const proposal will be straightforward  
in our case.  Our MPID implementation already uses const when  
referring to send buffers, and casting is not necessary for software  
layers below that.

If we need to demonstrate another implementation of this, I can  
attempt to apply the MPICH2 patch to our sources.  But I don't expect  
to learn anything from doing that, as all the complexity should be in  
getting the patch to apply.

SiCortex supports this proposal for 2.2.
