/etc/mpich/machines.LINUX_${ARCH}
seems to be the way MPICH wishes to change to, and they probably
are going to do it ... I need to think about a nice way of handling
it transparently on upgrades.
whether people would share /etc/mpich via NFS through multiple arches
is a question. It should probably move to /usr/share/mpich/ as the
upstream wishes to have it.
arm/ppc/sparc/i386/m68k(!) still have machines.LINUX
alpha is the only one which has been hacked to have machines.LINUX_ALPHA,
it seems.
