I *think* George Bosilca sent some sample code about this across one
of the OMPI lists (users or devel) a long time ago. I'm not 100% sure
about that, though...
I unfortunately forget the trick that he used. :-\

A communicator contains a group, not the other way around. You can
make a communicator from a group, though (see MPI_COMM_CREATE), but I
don't think it'll do what you want in this case.
