The addition of MPI_WIN_GET_INFO would take care of MPI_Win but I cannot
envision a similar operation for the MPI dynamic functions.

It seems to me that if the same functionality that MPI_FILE_GET_INFO
provides is desired for MPI_Win objects, there should be an MPI_WIN_GET_INFO.
If the MPI_Info implementation does not restrict the key/value pairs, as I
believe it should not, then MPI-2 is extensible so that an MPI_WIN_GET_INFO
or an MPI_WIDGET_GET_INFO can be provided as an extension to the standard,
and prior art for MPI-3.
