New features for this release:

    * support for LAM MPI implementation (and continuing support
      for MPICH/p4, MPICH/gm, EMP, and "none"), by ben of
      bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk.

    * reworked string handling so it should never overflow (previous
      version checked for overflow but did not automatically grow)

    * wider compiler and architecture portability (avoid strlcat etc.),
      as suggested by brooks of aero.org

    * work around weak shells:  tcsh would exit if told to cd
      into a non-existent directory

    * mpich/p4 works without requiring a patch to mpich-1.2.4

The full change log is on the webpage, and in the distribution.

A tarball of the lastest version of mpiexec is available at
