I am using the OpenMPI package, version 1.4.3.  It's one of three MPI
implementations which are included in the standard repositories of Ubuntu
Linux 11.10.  I can also obtain MPICH2 and gromacs-mpich without jumping
through too many hoops.  It looks like LAM is also available.  However, if
GROMACS needs a special package to interface with LAM, it's not in the
repositories.

Alternately, I could drop using the external MPI for now and just use the
new multi-threaded GROMACS defaults.  I was trying to prepare for longer
runs on a cluster, however.  If those runs are going to crash, I had better
know about it now.
