[MPI3 Fortran] Specify IN/OUT/INOUT in MPI spec?

[Jeff Squyres]

Ok, will do.  Three complicating factors:

1. Very minor: I need to get the MPI forum to agree that this is a  
good/worthwhile thing to do.  This probably will not be hard, but it  
is a checkmark I need to get first.

2. After I get the approval for #1,
2a. We'll probably need to iterate a small number of times on exactly  
how we want the bindings to appear both in the text and in the  
appendixes (with appropriate latex macros, etc.).
2b. After that's done, then it's the monkey work of applying the  
changes throughout all the document.

3. Very annoying: the Forum is ridiculously protective of the official  
LaTeX for the standards document (e.g., the SVN holding it is not  
publicly accessible).  However, Intel is a member of the Forum, so I  
can give you the general read-only username/password that is used by  
all Forum members to see the current document:

URL: https://svn.mpi-forum.org/svn/mpi-forum-docs/trunk/MPI-3
Username: **********
Password: **********

--> FWIW: the MPI-2.2 document hasn't been finalized yet (https://svn.mpi-forum.org/svn/mpi-forum-docs/trunk/MPI-2.2 
), and therefore it hasn't been copied to the MPI-3 directory in the  
SVN tree yet.

If I take on #1 and #2a, are you volunteering for #2b?
