Why does petsc need such a strict dependency on openmpi? If openmpi breaks the
ABI, the SONAME and package name will change and hence a rebuild will obviously
be necessary without this hack. But if it didn't break the ABI, do we really
need these rebuilds? Can't we just drop the check in petsc, or will something break?

Emilio
