Because there were some plans a while back to incorporate MPI directly
in Octave so that the mpi init function could be called first thing as
some people were claiming was necessary (or specified by the mpi
standards document).  This seems not to be necessary though, so the
check could probably be removed from Octave's configure script and
left to an external MPI package instead.
