[mpiwg-tools] PMPI and sessions init

[Joachim Protze]

Hi all,

if I understood the discussion about MPI_Session_init and PMPI right, I
don't think there exists an issue.
By ld-preloading the PMPI tool, the tool can also intercept a call to
MPI_Session_init, which might come from a library constructor before
main. Even a function called from the library constructor of a static
library can be intercepted by a ld-preloaded tool.

For libraries, which are explicitly loaded by the MPI runtime during
initialization, this would also work. For others, it depends on the
ordering of calling the library constructor (might work by chance :).

This was one of my main motivation of having such an environmental
variable.

Best
Joachim
