-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 There is logic in ExternalLibraries/MPI/configure.sh to automatically
 detect the location of MPI.  This code looks for $X/lib/libmpi.a and
 $X/include/mpi.h for various values of X.  This is not a robust way to
 locate MPI because libmpi.a is not the correct filename on Mac OS.  We
 could make a special case for Mac OS and use ".dylib" instead of ".a", or
 we could remove the library file from the test, and rely on the header
 file alone.  I prefer the latter.
