I'm curious if there is any plan to include mpi-selector support at all.  I'm
recompiling your rpms on a few RHEL5 boxes.  Up until recently, it was the only
mpi compiler on them, but I just got a request to install openmpi alongside it.
 I'd like to use RH's openmpi rpms and have them coexist correctly next to your
mpich2 rpms.

I"m trying to use Doug Ledford's openmpi spec file to hack in mpi-selector
support, but I wanted to check if you'd planned on putting any work in on this.

TIA.
