A few points:

- (Brian correct me if I'm wrong) I believe that the
one-sided  
support in the upcoming OMPI 1.2 release is *far* better and
more  
complete than what is contained in LAM/MPI.

- We have been fixing bugs and omissions in the MPI-2 C++
bindings  
specifically with regards to the one-sided stuff in Open MPI
recently  
(this is relevant because OMPI was seeded with the C++
bindings from  
LAM).  For example, just last night I reviewed a patch for a
C/C++  
interop fix in the one-sided C++ bindings; hopefully that'll
hit the  
OMPI development trunk sometime today.

- It is extremely unlikely that all these one-sided and C++
bindings  
fixes that we've done in Open MPI will be back-ported to
LAM.

The point here is that Open MPI's trunk snapshot and
upcoming v1.2  
release should have much better one-sided and C++ bindings
support  
than LAM.
