[MPICH] Will next release be binary compatible on Windows?

[David Ashton]

James,

I believe the new version will be binary compatible.  The only issue would
be if any constants changed in mpi.h and I don't believe any of them have.

Hi,
	The next release looks like it will be here in a few weeks.
Unfortunately I've 
got to release a version on my software imminently. I would like to know if 
1.0.3(?) will be binary compatible with 1.0.2 on Windows so users can just 
install 1.03 over 1.02 or will I need to recompile my application. There is
an 
important ROMIO fix in 1.0.3 but I'm already a month behind with my
deliverables 
and can't delay further!

Regards
James
