OK, new version of the packages which properly build -openmpi and -mpich2
subpackages complying with the MPI packaging guidelines (as far as I can tell).

A key change here is that I no longer split out -libs and -devel subpackages
since the main runtime actually requires both the -devel and -libs packages if
I go that route - gerris performs on-the-fly compilation of functions, and the
upstream maintainer recommended not splitting them out:

https://groups.google.com/group/gerris-devel/browse_thread/thread/5fc0c66332abe09f?hl=en

The only possible advantage to splitting out the -devel and -libs packages is
for other programs to build against, but the binary runtimes are so small that
I really don't think this is useful (as we'd then end up with 10 instead of 4
subpackages).

At this point I have this building on RHEL6 but haven't had chance to build on
rawhide yet.
