Bug#752786: mpich: Please add mpi.pc alternative

[Alastair McKinstry]

Package: mpich
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Please add mpi.pc as an alternative pointing to mpich.pc.
openmpi also provides a pkgconfig file; doing this really helps pkgconfig
files for MPI, and especially for cases such as HDF5, Netcdf, etc. where
libraries may or may not need to be linked against mpi depending on how they
are built; than we can use "Requires: mpi" in the pkgconfig files and hide
the  details from users.
