I need to write down a password into that file, for running a
testsuite. If that file does not exist, I can't run mpich2 tests.
How does the technique of just setting HOME like
mkdir mytemphome
cd mytemphome
echo "STUFF" > .mpd.conf
export HOME=$PWD
fail to work for this case? The mpich2 source code suggests this should
work.
In any case, I would consider it very bad practise for package builds
or package tests to write into $HOME/.any.file.
