Do you have a link to this open-source thing that uses LNet?  Does it
have a name?  Is it the Zest thing that Andreas' email linked to?  Or
maybe it's Cray-DVS??  A link to a git tree would be very helpful.

(I'm not committed to any name before I understand what the encapsulated
functionality would be)

Thanks,
