Howdy,

        As promised, a set of patches and new code against
        Octave-2.1.31 to set up MPI support.  This allows parallel
        execution for SMP machines and clusters.  You need to have a
        working MPI library installed on your system in order to get
        this to work!  There are at least two free implementations
        available; I use LAM/MPI (from http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam) and
        I recommend it heartily.  Another well-known free MPI
        implementation is called MPICH (available from
        http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich).

        I am sending this in five messages.  Here are the contents to
        expect.
