No problem, I understand completely.  Not that I have much time
either, but if you get overloaded, you might try posting what you have
(with ample disclaimers) and solicit the few free moments of other
interested parties to get some traction. Much to my pleasant surprise,
the gcl developer list has grown to 11, most of whom contribute
regularly.

Great!  We would like to include the mpi extensions in the
distribution.  We need to figure out a policy, though, for these
optional ffi interfaces, as they are beginning to proliferate.
