Hello,

I'm new to distributed development and was thinking of using your 
implementation of the MPI standard in combination with the Boost C++ 
Library. However after some reading I've come to understand that a 
compiler wrapper called mpic++ (mpicxx or otherwise) is required as well 
but I see no mention of it anywhere on the MPICH2 site ( 
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2 ), nor does it seem to 
have come prepackaged with the installer (mpich2-1.4-win-ia32.msi) I 
downloaded. Where might I find it exactly, and as a compiler wrapper, 
can I safely assume I'm meant to use it wherever I would ordinarily use 
my regular compiler (MSVC9 on Windows, GCC on Linux) when MPICH2 is 
involved? Is there anything in particular I should know or take note of 
with mpic++/mpicxx or MPICH2 in general?

Thank you!
