The output of ompi_info --parsable is somewhat difficult to parse
programmatically because it doesn't escape or quote fields that contain colons,
e.g.,

build:timestamp:Tue Dec 23 15:47:28 EST 2014
option:threads:posix (MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE: no, OPAL support: yes, OMPI 
progress: no, ORTE progress: yes, Event lib: yes)

Is there some way to facilitate machine parsing of the output of ompi_info
without having to special-case those options/parameters whose data fields might
contain colons ? If not, it would be nice to quote such fields in
future releases of ompi_info.
