That being said, I think it *would* be useful to be able to connect/accept 
between "two jobs started by different mpiruns."  It's a bit of a chicken-n-egg 
problem: no one does it because no one supports it, and vice versa.

I agree it's low in the priority list, but I'd put the "two jobs started by 
different mpiruns" in the "nice to have" category.
