I don't really see any reason to put any significant time or effort into this unless/until it's actually needed.

My initial thought that it would be a slightly complicated task may not be such a concern now that we're not packaging as an rpm. The issue is that Boost.MPI comes in separate packages for OpenMPI & MPICH (both for the 'base' C++ part and the python extension), which would certainly have caused issues with specifying the dependencies.

Without the rpm concern, it may be as straightforward as adjusting BOOST_ROOT in Build/CMake/MPISetup.cmake. Any modulefile would need to be different, but the one we have now is effectively specific to fermi anyhow.

No need for this now. Can revisit later if necessary.
