Open MPI supports spawning new processes as defined in the MPI-2
specification, see e.g.
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpi-standard/mpi-report-2.0/mpi2-report.htm
However, please note, that this does not modify MPI_COMM_WORLD.
MPI_COMM_WORLD is a static communicator which can not be changed, even
in Open MPI...
Thanks
