---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Sage has an Open MPI optional package, which uses version 1.1.4 of Open
MPI. This was released on Jan 30, 2007, so is more than 3 years old. It
fails to build on Solaris - see #8522.
The optional package is very different to most other Sage packages, which
shows its age.
* No SPKG.txt
* No Mercurial repository
* Sources sit in top-level directory, not in a 'src' subdirectory.
I'll create a package based on the latest version of Open MPI, which is
version 1.4.1, which was released 15th January 2010.
