@akohlmey not yet ready to merge this - a couple things are not working, need to confer with Taylor

@akohlmey ok, I think this is ready to go now - note that it uses the newest 1.3.2 version of MDI in lib/mdi/Install.py - feel free to update anything there if need be

Thanks for the note. Ran the files through clang-format and updated URLs and MD5 hashes for the new library version.
Now waiting for the tests to clear, but the test servers are quite busy right now...
