itaps-parallel More questions on iMeshP

We have the following further questions about iMeshP.

1. iMeshP_destroyPartitionAll states that the partition is not invalidated upon 
return. If this means that the partition is not freed, when and how will it be 
freed? If not, what does the statement mean?

2. Several migration functions take in the destination part ids of entities as 
they should. However, there is no function to get remote part ids from a 
partition. How is the user supposed to know which part id to migrate to, or are 
we missing something?

3. iMeshP_exchEntArrToPartsAll has a command_code input defined as "Flag 
indicating whether to migrate the entities or only make copies". It is unclear 
which option is 1 and which option is 0.

4. This is nitpicking, but iMeshP_getPartHandlesFromPartsIdsArr is misnamed. It 
should be ...PartIds... not ...PartsIds...

Thanks,
saurabh
