Will do.  I owe Ralph a check on the MIPS64 atomics too.

If ones compiler family of choice (e.g. XLF on PPC) passes the configure
checks but fails building the F08 stuff, then the presence or absence of
such a configuration option comes down to the difference between amputation
and euthanasia.  With the option, one can surgically remove F08 support and
retain F77 and F90 support, but without it one must discard the fortran
compiler entirely.  Since the likely alternative to a vendor compiler is
gfortran (which fails the F08 configure checks gracefully), you STILL don't
have F08 support and very possibly have slower executables (if you believe
that vendors compilers are better than GNU).

So, I think --disable-mpi-fortran-08 would be a valuable addition.  Since
the configure logic is already fine-grained (OMPI_BUILD_FORTAN_*_BINDINGS),
it shouldn't be a big deal to bring back the former --disable switches for
F77 and F90 support, though I am not requesting that you do so.
