The libraries are named libmpi (cygmpi-1.dll, libmpi.dll.a, etc.), and I
prefer lib package names to match the actual lib name rather than the
source package name. If other implementations also use libmpi as a
library name, then anyways we will only be able to ship one (conflicting
files).

If it were up to me, I would make it the default; it would just take a
mass rebuild to rid (almost) all packages of them. In any case, as this
is new to the distro, nothing else depends on it yet, so there's nothing
to break.
