OK, I found the MPICH2 implementation of the MPI API to be one that
actually works for both windows and linux.
seems to be plenty of others that are linux only though.

This is going to be a fairly slow process of transformation to have
x264 become MPI capable
progress is probably going to be sparse in between working, classes,
and job hunting with graduation coming up.
