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.
