[Devel] rank == PROC_FIFO

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Juha,

I'm already working on the second solution as it is more general; to 
simply things even more, the MI functions will be automatically exported 
by modules by declaring them in the module_export structure (similar to 
script functions and module parameters).

today or tomorrow I will commit it on CVS.

regards,
bogdan
