configuring on AIX

[William Gropp]

The configure needs an upgrade.  What we do in MPICH2 for tests that  
normally need to run a program is to use variables of the form  
CROSS_<name of thing> to provide these values.  For example,  
CROSS_SIZEOF_MPI_OFFSET .  For now, you can set  
ac_cv_sizeof_MPI_Offset in your environment, and it *might* work.
