I would like to second the openmpi-oscar name and I like Sten's idea of having 
src rpm or spec file link of openmpi-oscar too.

Just in case a user is not happy with the bundled openmpi, they can simply 
rebuild openmpi with the openmpi-oscar compatible srpm or spec file on their 
own way.
I bet that this would make more works on the development side, though.

Regards,
