<P><FONT size=2>>> Looks like the Fortran interface does call the MPI
version of the C function.<BR><BR> Only if the call is from PMPI_*
funcs. (If the MPI call is not from PMPI, MPI_* funcs get defined to
PMPI_*)<BR><BR>>> If the fortran binding calls PMPI version of C
function...<BR><BR> In windows this currently does not work (I guess, it
is due to the different calling convention/name mangling by the mpe lib and
the fortran lib in windows) :( Defenitely a TODO item
