Most MPI implementations configures and build the fortran module by default, so
I guess rpm will pull in the dependency anyway.

I've been meaning to submit a patch for lam (in Core) to do this, but have been
very busy lately; maybe the Redhat maintainer will be willing to get it going
with a patch.

I don't think so.

What do you mean by a unit here ? I believe what you have in the src.rpm above
is okay, many applications built to use mpi specifically looks for this
individual executables.

Nice work.

PS:  Why not just pass -includedir=%{_includedir}/%{name} and
-libdir=%{_libdir}/%{name} to the configure flag instead of moving the files around.
