I don't get what you mean exactly with "suitability", could you define
the parameters you want to know? Also OpenWRT is just a base
distribution, so it will depend on the applications/protocols you want
to use. There are many flavors of software combinations which gives you
the opportunity of deploy a mesh network.
In Guifi.net [0] (Catalonia) we are starting to use qMp [1], which is a
meta-distribution of OpenWRT.
But you also have the software from Freifunk [2] and many others.
BTW, if you want to know more about mesh networking you should come to
the Battle Mesh in April [3].
Cheers

Can anybody comment on the suitability of OpenWRT for building an
ad-hoc mesh amongst residents of apartment buildings or student
accommodation?
In particular, I was anticipating:
- use of routers with dual radio or multiple SSID support so that
each user can have a private WLAN served by the same router that is
joined to the mesh
- using quality consumer grade routers (e.g. TP Link or Buffalo)
without external antennas due to the close proximity of users
