[MPICH] Compiling mpich with a new component

[Rajeev Thakur]

Your component probably includes some .h file that in turn includes other .h
files. If the include paths are not specified correctly during the build, it
will complain. You can try including your component in say the ch3/sock/src
directory and use the Makefile in there to build your code as well and see
if it works.

There are still references to such non-existent .h files even after
configure has returned successfully. I find it had to understand how such
errors are not reported when I detach my component. Does it mean that they
are not actually necessary?

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.
