Oh, that's unfortunate.    It looks like some of the OrangeFS security
work went and changed PVFS_credential to PVFS_credentials.

Thanks for the report.  I did not know about this.  

Is it too late to get orangefs to slip in a typedef so old code using
PVFS_credential can continue to function?

I can change ROMIO to work around that, but it will take several years
(i'm not joking) before all the various places that use ROMIO (and
MVAPICH-1 will never sync up) sync up with any changes I make in
MPICH2.
