I've put a 1.0.1 version with a start on using alternatives here:

http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/openmpi-1.0.1-1.src.rpm

Some notes and questions that have arisen:

- Used %{version} in Source0 line
- Removed Requires: gcc-gfortan.  I'm sure many folks will use this without fortran.
- Add Requires(post): /usr/sbin/alternatives.
- Add post/preun scripts to install alternatives.  Note that the alternatives
for mpirun and mpiexec can't be used until lam is converted to use alternatives.
- Removed %exclude %{_libdir}/debug, unnecessary
- Made %sysconfdir stuff %config

 - Do we really need the .openmpi suffix on the following:

/usr/bin/ompi_info.openmpi
/usr/bin/orted.openmpi
/usr/bin/orteprobe.openmpi
/usr/bin/orterun.openmpi

Is anyone other than openmpi going to provide these?

I dropped the .openmpi suffix option and instead simply renamed the compiler
wrappers and handled the mpirun/mpiexec links via alternatives.

- Do we want to switch all of the mpi* commands as a unit, or individually. I've
done the mpirun/mpiexec as a unit named "mpi" and the compiler wrappers
individually here because I think I can imagine wanting different fortran
compilers on different machines and I'm not sure we can split an alternatives
unit between two sub-packages.
