Hmmm....this email thread was forwarded to me by a friendly elf, so be sure
to include me directly in any reply. As the person who wrote a lot of the
bproc support, I'll try to catch up on it over the next couple of days.

One thing to correct right away, though. The --display-map function actually
doesn't tell you what modules are going to be used to run the job. The
values you show below are the MCA params being passed to the application
procs, which have nothing to do with how those procs are being launched!

In fact, in 1.2, we hard-code the "proxy" components solely to turn "off"
any attempt by a local proc to mistakenly choose a "real" component for
those frameworks. The "proxy" just tells them to send a message to mpirun if
they actually need to use any of those frameworks.

In a bproc world, NONE of those frameworks are used by the procs, and the
procs never call any of them.

I'm not sure that 1.2 provides a mechanism for reliably reporting what every
framework selected.
