Hi Orion (and everyone else interested in MPI), heres what I think ought 
to happen in approximate order:

 1) upgrade this package to the latest upstream (easy!)
 2) setup package to work with /usr/sbin/alternatives
    a) make this package work with it
    b) make the in-Core LAM work with it
    c) make the in-submission MPICH2 work with it (bug #171993)

and, also, I'd like to request that

 - LAM be removed from Core, and/or
 - OpenMPI replace LAM within Core

since the LAM developers have very publicly announced that LAM is in 
maintenance-only mode and have thrown their full weight behind OpenMPI:

  http://www.lam-mpi.org/

Tom ("Spot") has informally volunteered to help with the in-Core bits but 
I think we need to make some progress here first before pressuring (or is 
it begging?) the Core folks to help improve the MPI situation.  :-)

So, I'll try to get 1 and 2a done in a week or so...
