I've been spending the majority of my Gentoo-related time working on a
solution to bug 44132 [1], basically, trying to find a way to gracefully
handle multiple installs of various MPI implementations at the same time in
Gentoo.  Theres more information about the solution in my devspace [2], but
a quick summary is that there is a new package (empi) that is much like
crossdev, a new eselect module for empi, and a new eclass that handles both
mpi implementations and packages depending on mpi.

So, I think I have pushed this work far enough along for it to actually be
somewhat officially offered.  My question then, is where should this be
located?  There are several mpi packages in the science overlay already, so
should I push this work to there, or would it be more appropriate to make a
new overlay specifically for hp-cluster?

Future work related to this project will be getting all mpi implementations
and dependant packages converted in the same overlay before bringing it up on
-dev for discussion about inclusion into the main tree.

I have no real preference either way, but the science team does already have
an overlay :)  Let me know what you think.
