port legacy applications to the new standard. By default, this "strict"

<br><tt><font size=2>There are a whole bunch of such functions that were
deprecated in MPI 2.0 (in 1997) and removed in MPI 3.0 (in 2012). We discussed
whether to keep or remove them in MPICH, and decided to keep them so as
not to gratuitously break user codes that still use the old functions.<br>
