MPI Port

Here is my very preliminary work on the MPI infrastructure. There were a few deviations from the specification however they are all fairly minor. We still definitely need to talk about the linked_buffer implementation. The implementation as was sketched out in the specification doesn't seem to have any easy means of filling the pointers table after create_linked_buffers has done its work.

Sorry about the formatting. The wiki strangely denied each of my attempts at attaching the files.
