mpf_get_str trouble

[Cesar Delgado]

MPI has a function called MPI_Pack that "packs" variables into a way
that can be sent from node to node.  A little example is here
(http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~cs236370/cdp1999/slides/m4/mpi4.html).
I'm not a strong enough programmer to implement a pack routine for mpf.
