(moving to devel list for wider audience)
Hmm. I thought the UTK stuff from a while ago supposedly changed this
behavior to only open the components that were specifically requested.
This behavior looks like the *original* MCA behavior -- open them all,
then discard what we don't want (but doesn't necessarily reclaim the
memory because of how dlclose works).

Yo guys
I've noticed something on the trunk that just doesn't strike me as
correct.
If I specify "-mca plm rsh", it is my expectation that (a) only the
rsh
component will be opened, and (b) only the rsh module will be
selected,
unless that component indicates that it cannot run.
What I am seeing, though, is that -all- the plm components are being
opened.
This is not only unnecessary, but consumes memory and leads to
concern over
whether or not some other module could become active.
Is this the intended behavior? If so, may I suggest we change it in
Josh's
branch prior to bringing it over?
