If I understand you very well, you mean doing it the jpackage/java way
- putting the _bindir, _libdir, and _includedir in 
%{_libdir}/${MPI_IMPL_NAME}/ - is discouraged and should not be used ?
The problem using the style you proposed above, is that these
different mpi implementations provides the same standard mpi binaries
{mpicc,mpicxx,mpif90,mpif77,mpirun}, and man pages too. How can those
be taken care of.

Thanks for offering to help.

Deji.
