MPITB (http://atc.ugr.es/javier-bin/mpitb) works very well. I'm attaching a 
pdf of a research paper that is almost done to provide evidence of this. 
Please be sure to look at Figure 1. All of the code will be made public as 
soon as the paper is done. I think it would be great if this MPI 
functionality could make it into octave, and incorporating it would help to 
keep compiling problems under control. Whenever octave's internal types 
change, Javier has to do some under the hood work to get MPITB to compile 
again.

OK, I'm holding my breath until Christmas!
