updating flexpath to test the changes to the variables..
changed to use the hashtbl size instead of var_count (depricated).
removing all calls to gen_thread. using pthreads instead.
fixed call to pthread_create. passes in the ptr correctly.
control thread is now a void function. no longer returns int.. difference between pthread and gen_thread.
oops. removed extraneous printf
removing update_step msgs for now. causes other issues with step functionality.
forgot to commit writer. removing update step fnctionality. need to rethink this a bit.
fixed issue with some writers not being talked to causing them to never discard data. this fix causes more connections to be created on the reader side, but with NNTI or ENET, it shouldn't matter.
Update MXML macro for more flexible search
remove SVNVERSION stuff from configure.ac
Merge branch 'v1.5.1' of github:ornladios/ADIOS into v1.5.1
removed extraneous printfs and fixed call to pthread_create so no compiler warning is thrown.
Merge branch 'v1.5.1' of github:ornladios/ADIOS into v1.5.1
find mxml from MXML_LIB/MXML_INC environment variables too
removed antiquated code relating to server rep ids and format ids from the writer.
cleanup of some unused variables and enum types.
changed the way the offset information is exchanged. this is now done each time step. created a new message for the multiqueue stone to control when the offset information is dropped from the queue.
fixed memory leak issue. discards the drop_group message now.
reader now requests offset information each timestep.
(flexpath:regtests): added maya-noxml tests
