[MPI3 Fortran] Deprecate mpif.h?

[Hubert Ritzdorf]

I don't know how many different pre-compiled modules and object 
files for different compiler options you are supporting. 
But you cannot assume that all mpif.h users use mpif77/mpif90
scripts for compiling application files and linking executables.

That's almost trivial to solve, and has been solved many times before.
A single library contains both sets of object files, and the compiled
code contains a reference to what it needs.

All the implementor needs to do is to ensure that there are no name
clashes, and the object files will interoperate.
