Hmm.  Good question.

I don't know enough about shmem vs. open shmem to say.  Is the API the same?  
If the API is the same, then you make a good point -- perhaps we should replace 
all --with-oshmem-xxx and --enable-oshmem-xxx with --with-shmem-xxx and 
--enable-shmem-xxx, respectively.

Supporting this view, we have several --with-mpi-xxx switches (i.e., we don't 
have --with-ompi-xxx switches).  But this works because Open MPI is just an 
implementation of MPI.  Forgive my shmem ignorance: is the oshmem/ layer an 
implementation of Shmem?  Or an implementation of Open Shmem?  (is there a 
difference between the two?)
