pnetcdf and openmpi 2.0.2?

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hi, Mark

OpenMPI 2.0.2 was just released yesterday. You are probably the first person to
use it to build PnetCDF.

It is strange that intelmpi works fine but not openmpi. I just tried 2.0.2 myself
with gcc and the same PnetCDF test program ran without errors.

Coud you send us your "config.log" file? It might reveal some clues.
