[Mpi3-tools] MPIR document

[Martin Schulz]

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for leading this discussion at the meeting this week.

All this sounds like a solid plan - if we don't get any further
major comments anymore (I have a few feedback requests
outstanding), I'll work with John on the conversion. That
should not be that hard.

Martin
