[MPICH] Compiling mpich with a new component

[Dave Goodell]

Make sure that you run configure first.  There are a number of files  
of the form "FOO.BAR.in" that are used by configure to create  
"FOO.BAR".  "mpid_thread.h" is an example of one of these files.

For what it's worth, the mpich2 build system is somewhat complicated,  
so you should be prepared to spend quite a bit of time poking around  
with it in order to be able to add your own files.
