[Mpi3-ft] Con Call on 1/4/2009

[Greg Bronevetsky]

Here's my quick writeup of the major problems that we discussed with 
writing modular apps on top of our proposed MPI fault tolerance spec 
and an approach for making it relatively easy to write 
module-specific error recovery algorithms without worrying about 
other modules. I've attached a pdf version as well as a txt version 
that will be easier to edit.
