Better make sure there is a variable named INTEGER that is type default INTEGER for the statement below to work.  The more common usage is just KIND(0).

This does not appear to accomplish anything (other than irritate Rolf).  If INTEGER(OMPI_INT_KIND) is interoperable, and suitable for a BIND(C) interface, then so is INTEGER.  If you compile with -i8, OMPI_INT_KIND will switch from 4 to 8 (most implementations), but INTEGER would have the same effect. 

Cheers,
Bill
