Old coding habits have caused me problems with other packages because there is no malloc.h system include file on a Mac, for example.  Is it rational to examine the MPICH2 code base and upgrade the #include <malloc.h>'s to #include <stdlib.h>?

I'd say it's very rational to do that.  Patches are welcome, otherwise we'll probably get to it someday.
