GCOM has been extensively restructured to give it a more flexible and maintainable
structure. For more details see the "Readme" file.

New this version
----------------
BUFFERED_MPI. Allows GCOM to be used on a number of MPI based systems which hang if the
T3E-compatible code is used.

SERIAL_SRC. Allows GCOM to be used on a single processor without any interprocessor
libraries required. Obviously only 1PE can be used.

SHMEM version bugfix : Lack of adequate synchronisation in GC/GCG_I/R/C/BCAST routines
meant that for large data (size > MAXCOLL), incorrect data was sometimes placed in the
receiving processors arrays. This error has been removed at version 2.6
