I don't think I can easily replicate the compile problem.  Could someone 
(Rich?) please volunteer to accept a patch and attempt to compile it rather 
than have me spin my wheels trying to install an old version of MPI on 
something?

I’d just like to say using MPI_IN_PLACE is a great way of saving on memory 
copies and there is a reason why newer versions of MPI have it; it’s better.

Constantly making compromises to support old versions is (in my opinion) bad 
practice.
I’d vote (and I know that nobody agrees with me) to not support older MPI 
versions. Let people upgrade their MPI rather than bloat code by patching for 
this.

I feel quite strongly about this and will happily contribute a CMake check for 
MPI_IN_PLACE which will tell the user at cmake time that their MPI is 
unsupported and they need to upgrade.
