Looks like you forgot to add MPIManager to the repository.
Do we want a class MPIManager, or should we let PETSc take of this? If we
create an MPI object ourselves, it will probably clash with PETSc.
We need it if we sometimes want to use MPI without PETSc (which is not
unlikely even if PETSc is the default).
MPIManager works like PETScManager and takes care of the global
initialization at startup:
MPIManager::init();
and also calls finalize() automatically when the program exits. It
talks to MPI to see if it has already been initialized (by PETSc,
itself or someone else) and does nothing if that is the case.
