The official C++ bindings are currently being finalized by the MPI
forum.  Hopefully an implementation will follow quickly.  You may or
may not want to use just the C++ bindings in a C++ program, however,
as they are fairly low level.  We have developed a class library for
MPI: OOMPI.  You can find documentation for this library at

  http://www.cse.nd.edu/~lsc/research/oompi/

The code itself will be released shortly.
