[Mpi3-tools] URGENT: feedback from first reading of MPIR

The reading went generally well.  There were a few (legitimate) nit-picks from the Forum that I need to fix tonight and re-present tomorrow.  Doing this will still allow us to meet the requirement of "first formal reading" at this Stuttgart Forum meeting -- paving the way for the first vote next meeting, etc.

Here's a list of the nits:

- add version number for MPIR document
- It should to be mentioned explicitely that the document is _NOT_ part of MPI 3 and does not have to be implemented for MPI 3 compliance
- Is "IP address" only IPv4 ? 
- Message Queue has not been mentioned as a separate document
- MPI_Comm_join is missing on the list of unsupported functionality
- Fix Link to page number in bibliography (It is irritating as they _all_ point to page 1)
- MPIR_debug_state could be set by a compiler default 
- My name (Marc-Andre) as Marc-Andr\'{e} 
- inconsistent use of names in chapter 2 (MPI APA) vs. rest of document

I will be fixing all of these in the next hour or two.  The only real question is "IP address" -- do we only mean IPv4?  Or is IPv6 ok?  I'll read the text closely to see what we intended.  If anyone has an opinion, please chime in ASAP.  Thanks.
