As discussed on the call yesterday, Pasha and I are preparing a new SRPM 
specifically for OFED 1.5.1.

The reason is because they need some updates to the openib INI file, but we're 
just not ready for an v1.4.2 release.  Hence, it makes sense to slightly modify 
the default OMPI spec file, put in some patches for OFED, and call it OMPI 
1.4.1-2ofed.  This is fairly common practice, I think.

So far, I have INI file updates from Mellanox, Intel, and Chelsio (might get 
another Chelsio update in the next day or three).  

We should record this specfile somewhere, though, just for posterity.  Two 
questions:

1. Should I commit this stuff in the 1.4 contrib/dist/linux branch?  (if I hear 
nothing back, I assume "yes")
2. Should I post this custom SRPM on 
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.4/? (if I hear nothing back, I assume 
"no" -- treat it like any other downstream packager that has their own custom 
OMPI package)
