Charm++ parallel programming system

[Jim Phillips <jim AT ks.uiuc.edu>]

Looks good.  I assume axp means (elan-axp mpi-axp mpi-linux-axp net-axp
net-linux-axp shmem-axp) and origin means (origin2000 origin-pthreads).

The last VMI release was in 2005 (see http://vmi.ncsa.uiuc.edu/) and I 
never heard of it being used outside NCSA so you can almost certainly also 
purge (vmi vmi-linux vmi-linux-ia64 vmi-linux-x86_64).

Quadrics closed its doors back in 2009 so you can also get rid of the elan 
layer (elan elan-axp elan-linux elan-linux-ia64).
