Comment (by hinder):

 Bruno and I discussed this (sorry; this should have happened in this
 ticket).  The commit breaks supermuc for exactly this reason.  It sets
 MPI_DIR = NO_BUILD and then sets the other variables to point to the MPI
 installation, and the MPI thorn then tries to build the library, despite
 MPI_DIR being set to NO_BUILD.  I saw that the logic was the same in the
 HDF5 thorn, and assumed that this was just the way things were in Cactus,
 but now I see that the HDF5 thorn was also patched, so I now consider this
 to be a bug.
