Nope.

IMHO the only right solution would be to have the three flavors of the 
library (serial, openmpi, mpich) co-installable, instead of playing with 
workarounds unsupported upstream.

But we have yet to find out how to achieve this goal :(

I've just had a look at fedora where the libs are co-installable. They 
use rpath for the MPI flavors. I don't like this solution which is 
acceptable for private libraries only.

Any other idea?

Thanks,
