Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation.  Parallel Particles are not 
supported with MPI as I was not able to understand what 
PatchParticleSwapLayout (or whatever it is called).  If anyone provides 
me with some explanation, I'll happily look at what is missing.

Btw. I have some Cheetah fixes myself, I can collect these together and 
maybe we could provide at least a patch for download along the cheetah 
tarball.
