For what it's worth, there's an OpenFOAM package installing into /opt
under <http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/> which is
OK for people who need it on HPC systems.  I don't know whether it would
satisfy packaging requirements simply to move it under MPI_HOME
wholesale.  Possibly relevant to Salome, I have an unpublished package
of code_saturne, but I had trouble getting it working with multiple
MPIs.
