Tortsten,

There seemed to be decent agreement on adding MPI_Win_all_flush_all
(equivalent to MPI_Win_flush_all called from every rank in the
communicator associated with the window) since this function can be
implemented far more efficiently as a collective than the equivalent
point-wise function calls.

Is there a problem with adding this to your proposal?

Jeff
