Ah, no.  It's not even possible to hack via config-file stuff
for a generic MPI code either, unless you're allowed to recompile
the code to exit task 0, form a new smaller communicator, and continue.

But you could toss in this option toward the end of get_hosts().
Just chop off tasks[0] while the name matches the original tasks[0].name
and move up everybody else in the array, reducing numtasks.  I'll
fold it in to the distro if you get it to work (mostly) and find it useful.
