I guess what I am wondering about is what "the right stuff" is. If I build 
OpenMPI-3 for a set of hosts with singularity support, along with OPA support, 
etc. then does any openmpi built inside the container need to also include OPA, 
or IB, etc., or is that just handled with the singularity support?

Thanks.

FWIW: we also automatically detect that the application is a singularity 
container and do the right stuff
