#39340: octave should not require a specific implementation of mpi

     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:                  |       Port:
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 There is absolutely no reason for Octave to require OpenMPI instead of any
 implementation of MPI.  MPI is a portable standard for a reason.  Octave
 should work just fine with the mpich-devel package and that should satisfy
 the dependency.
