Fair enough.  I s'ppose we could put it in ompi/mca/common/hwloc and just let 
whoever link against it who wants to (e.g., individual components).  Heck, we 
could just as well put hwloc down in opal -- e.g., opal/mca/common.  Or 
something like that; maybe keep it up in opal/hwloc, but don't slurp it into 
libopen-pal -- just let things link against libhwloc_embedded if they want to.

Then even ORTE things could use hwloc, if desirable.  So could paffinity/hwloc.

Hmm.  There's probably both pros and cons to this approach.  Need to think 
about that a bit...
