    I would like add an MPI interface to an established distributed
communications library. Presently the library supports TCP-IP,
IP-MULTICAST, shared memory, and others.  Users link their application
with this library to use the interfaces to these protocols. If I add an
MPI interface to the library, how will they be able to run their
applications outside the context of mpirun?
