[MPICH] build MPICH2 on Windows

Hi Krishna,

Thank you for you patient replies, and I tried it again according to your
advice.

Finally, I build it successfully without fortran module. My steps:

   1. run winconfigrue.wsf --cleancode
   - if --remove-fortran is enabled, the MPICH2Installer project will
      disappear after configure, which is required by "Installer"
configuration to
      create MSI for win32. That to say, we can not creat the right
installation
      package in makewindist.bat (devenv.com mpich2.sln /build
      Installer). I am afraid this is a bug of winconfigure.wsf. Have
      you ever tested it with "--remove-fortran" enabled?
      - I am using ActivePerl. The "Could not open src\pmi" error is
      always overthere. But If I run "perl maint\extracterrmsgs
      -skip=src\util/multichannel/mpi.c src\mpi src\nameserv src\util
      src\binding src\include src\mpid src\pmi"  in command line, the
      error disappears (When "-debug" option is enabled, the output
      log is about 18MB, so I attached the result without "-debug").
      However, even with this error, we can still build MPICH2
successfully.  In
      order to make sure what's the root of this error, I installed cygwin and
      rerun "winconfigure.wsf". To my surprise, the error
      disappears!!! Does this means a bug of ActivePerl or a bug of
      winconfigure.wsf? But still I can not enbale the
      "--remove-fortran" option, otherwise, the MPICH2Installer project will
      disappear after configure.
      2. open mpich2.sln and configure MPICH2Installer project
      - remove shm, ssm, fortran, mpe, and log related files (I only
      want channel sock)
      3. change makewindist.bat to reflect the changes in
mpich2.sln(MPICH2Installer)
      - remove everything but ch3sockRelease between :BUILD_RELEASEand
      :BUILD_ERROR. This is the main part of makewindist.bat after
      modifing.
      %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      :BUILD_RELEASE
      devenv.com mpich2.sln /build ch3sockRelease > make.log
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      devenv.com mpich2.sln /project mpich2s /build ch3sockRelease >>
      make.log
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      devenv.com mpich2.sln /build Release >> make.log
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      devenv.com mpich2.sln /project cxx /build Debug >> make.log
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      devenv.com examples\examples.sln /project cpi /build Release
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      devenv.com mpich2.sln /build Installer
      if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto BUILDERROR
      %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      - remove call makegcclibs.bat (I do not need libxxx.a for
      cygwin)
      4. run makewindist.bat --with-curdir
   5. now we got mpich2.msi in maint/ReleaseMSI

Hope this would be helpful for anyone else who wants to build MPICH2 from
the source.
