Both the lam and openmpi packages on my site support environment-modules in
addition to the mpi-selector functionality.

And yes, the file layout violates FHS.  However, this layout seems to violate it
the least while not creating a hodgepodge of binary names and symlinks in
/usr/bin and other nasties like that.  If it weren't forbidden for a
distribution to ship software that installs in /opt, I would say that we should
can the whole idea of putting this stuff in /usr and just use
/opt/%{name}/%{version}/%{opt_cc} for these things.  They are built by upstream
with many assumptions that lend them to that layout well, and make a FHS layout
a nightmare.  It's a case of what's the least evil way to solve the problem.
