I think the only reason I protected that framework is to reduce the
overhead of an application using a build of Open MPI with CR support, but
no enabling it at runtime. Nothing in the compress framework depends on the
CR infrastructure (although the CR infrastructure can use the compress
framework if the user chooses to). So I bet we can remove the protection
altogether and be fine.
So I think this patch is fine. I might also go as far as removing the 'if'
block altogether as the protection should not been needed any longer.
Thanks,
Josh
