[MPICH] bug in evaluating MPIEXEC_MACHINES_PATH

[William Gropp]

No, its just not used very much, and isn't used in our nightly  
tests.  It has some limitations because of the limitations of remote  
shells (and because it doesn't use a "helper" application at the  
destination node).  Most our our testing is done with mpd and  
gforker; mpd provides more functions and is more thoroughly tested.
