I didn't backport OpenMPI changes happened to 1.5 branch.

I was waiting for those to be backported to 1.4 branch, and since that
didn't happen I thought it was intended for 1.5 release. Then I was
effectively absent for about two weeks and lost pre-release time.

If you want me to backport 1.5 changes, drop me a note,
MPI is going into my focus in near time.

I'll take a look.
