Ideally the openmpi package would allow to use POSIX IPC rather than XSI
IPC.  POSIX IPC doesn't require a server process.  If there's a
configure option to that effect, I'd use it.  Otherwise, just add a
README to tell the user about the dependency.

Stuff like that is seriously fishy.  What happens?
