Because I'm waiting on this package (and a few others) before I can build
updated openmpi packages that support Infiniband.  I suspect if I waited for the
upstream people to do the whole process themselves, it would be next year before
it got done.  If I get it done, then I can do what needs done until they've
completed the process.  Even if they *never* complete the process, it's easier
for me to handle the individual packages than it is the big openib package
that's in RHEL.  So getting them in here so I can import them into RHEL is a
benefit to me.

I didn't make any changes other than to add a changelog ;-)  But, they are on
the same place that they were before:

There is an updated src.rpm from 20070703, and the spec files have been updated.
