Comment (by knarf):
I agree that the way things are now can be a bit confusing. MPI_DIR, however, is used as directory, to direct the search to a specific directory if needed/requested - in case none of the other MPI_ variables are set. It is only not looked at (but needs to be set), if one of the others is set. In this case you are expected to set everything manually.
