I have been a bit upset by recent discussions on French's HPC mailing
list about "modulefiles are awesome" ---- well I am sure they are
applying variant of "prêcher le faux pour savoir le vrai" [1]. :-)

I do not have an MPI infrastructure or enough CPU power to rebuild a
lot at hand to fully test it.  If one of you can try on right infra
and report, it could be awesome.

BTW, it should work only if MPICH does not require extra phases or
environment variables.


All the best,
