Bug#815623: mpich: Description should mention MPI-3 and possibly MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE

[Michael Banck]

Package: mpich
Version: 3.2-6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The MPICH package description still says "implementation of the Message
Passing Interface (MPI) standard (both MPI-1 and MPI-2)".  However, as
of some time now I think, MPICH supports MPI-3 as well.

As an extra kick against OpenMPI, it could also mention that it supports
the MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE option - I "have" to use MPICH for some of my
packages as OpenMPI's MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE implementation is buggy and
(rightfully) not enabled in Debian.
